I bought a half dozen Beman Classics a few months ago. Everyone seems to have good stuff to say about them, that's why I wanted to try them. But I'm not really very impressed with them, they fly ok, not any better than my GT Trads do. I don't really like the insert system either, mess up the end of the cabon shaft, arrow is junk, unless you shoot them 2 or 3 inches long. They seem to penetrate a foam target a little better than a bigger diameter arrow does, in my opinion, not worth the extra money, I'll stick with my GT's.
