Does anyone shoot Beman ICS hunter arrows? Just the regular black shafts that 3-Rivers has. Seems like a great priced carbon. Just curios about performance.

What I like about them, is that since they are wider than the skinny carbon's you can easily find wood dowels to fit inside the shaft for extra heft. Also found metal rods that can also be inserted in the shaft for super weight.

I use the 500's with brass inserts out of 45/50 lb bows.There easy to tune and pretty tough.Probably the best bang for the buck in carbon arrows.

ics venture/bowhunters are good carbons, tough, durable, more accurate that most any archer. i use the 500's, have more than 6 dozen or so.

I just ordered more of them. $43 a doz. Hard to beat that for a shaft that will probably be around the next time you need them.

I would also like to know $43/doz source.
For those using these, what spine would you think for Predator #59@28, 28" draw, (shafts cut to about 30")with 225grn in front? Or 270grn in front?

A quicl Google search should yield several vendors who sell those shafts for around forty to forty-five dollars per dozen. You may also want to check for closeouts on Hawk and Venture shafts, which are the same thing only with the older name.
