I like this problem!
« on: July 02, 2008, 01:47:00 PM »
I have 3 arrow combinations that all fly great and have to make a choice for my Wyoming elk hunt.  I am shooting a 60 inch, 59# @ 28 Pronghorn takedown.  I can shoot a 575 grain 2018 with a 145 grain Ace Standard upfront, a 571 grain 70-74 spine Sitka spruce with a 160 grain Journeyman upfront or a 576 grain 70-74 spine footed cedar with a 160 grain Ace Standard upfront.  I can't go wrong, but I have to make a choice and stick with it so I can shoot the combination the rest of the summer.

Although minimal, I like the heavier point. Given all things the same, I'd pick the last one. I like the Ace head a little better.IMO

I like number one just because it is on a 2018.  :)

I like the #2 because it's footed Sitka Spruce.  I also like the Journeyman broadhead.

I would go with whatever one you feel most comfortable with.

IMO they will all get the job done in the end.

Good luck on your hunt!

I'd use # 2. But  I shoot Eclipes which is the same as the Journeyman. David

Leave it to Lechwe!  I am beginning to worry about that boy.  I see some pink crown dipped arrows with frilly feathers in his future.  It will make deer camp interesting this year.

I've shot many animals with 2018's and 2016's you just can't go wrong with the durability and consistency of a 2018. I always get a dozen cedars and they fly perfectly but when I think of traveling and varing weather I always take my aluminiums.
