The Trad lites and Grizzly Sitkas are about as durable as they get.

Both mentioned above are GREAT arrows but not cheap by any standards.

You can usually go to the big auction site and find GT traditional seconds for a very reasonable price and I have never had problems with them.

Carbon Express Terminators 45-60.  Affordable, not twig light, and very, very tough.

I second the Carbon Express Terminators. I have been shooting the 45/60's off of bows from 56 to 64 pounds for the past four years and those things fly great and are practically indestructable.  Very affordable.

semi 4th for Terminators. Terminator Hunters with the buff tuff wrap are really tough.

I'm a big fan of Carbon Express too. But you can get the CX Rebels for a lot less than the Terminators and I haven't been able to tell the difference yet.

Cabelas Stalker Extremes $50 a doz. for shafts only. Look an aweful lot like Bemans  ;)

I loaded mine with rope and my 30.5" shafts are 585gr with 125 tips.

Just wanted to try carbons and they worked nice once the weight was up.

Carbon Express is still my favorite carbon shaft if I only had one to choose.  I've shot most of them out there and they are the most durable and easiest to tune. dino
