just paying for looks, depends on what those looks  are worth to you.

[David Mitchell]

Not if you can't see any difference.  I pay less than that for GT blems and couldn't be happier with them.

[Thebear_78]

+1 on the gold tip blems

[YORNOC]

No, I have definitely NOT gotten what I've paid for. Going back to cheaper materials after getting screwed by the hype.  VERY dissappointed by, for example, Grizzly Stiks, what a scam. Good old aluminum or gamegetter carbons are probably BETTER! Have plenty of woods too that will perform JUST FINE at 20 yard shots.
The corporate giants will get NO MORE of my money. EVER. In trad archery or ANYTHING else for that matter. If there is a big name on it, walk away for YORNOC.

Straight is straight and spine is spine as long as they are consistent why pay a ton more money. I am shooting GT blems I found for $39 a dozen and am very happy! Shawn

[RonD]

Shawn, where are you getting the GT Blems for $39 a dozen?  I have been shooting aluminums for sometime now, but am steaily losing satisfaction from them and the noise they make. Need to find an arrow with a smaller diameter that will shoot at a lower draw weight and brace height.

[charlie phillips]

THANKS were are yall getting those blems from.

Big Jim, a sponsor here carries GT blems for 42 a dozen and he ships FAST!

[Yellow Dog]

GT blems from Big Jim is the best deal going. Wraps from Onestringer, Bohning Fletch Tape and some feathers and you're ready to go  

[stalkin4elk]

If you have to buy a metal detector and train a new bird dog to find your lost arrows then maybe you should have paid less!  

[ishoot4thrills]

Beman MFX Classics are a bit higher in price, but I say they're worth every penny!

[maxfit]

only arrow tht has lived up to the extra $ is the easton FMJ..tough as can be... My 2018 fly great but bend easy...I  have lost  many blems and ruined quite a few bare-shafting and experimenting and missing..dont mind that much at that price. They are great arrows. But i am going to be sick if i lose one of my FMJ..

[Bowwild]

I'm pretty picky about arrows so I use what I think are good ones.

I've used many brands and models. I have never been able to blame or credit a result on the arrow.

The only hunting arrows I've ever owned that I wouldn't hunt with (sorry) are some POC woodies I made. I wasn't good enough with the wood to get em straight enough for confident shooting. I'm not condemning the POC shaft just admitting I'm not sophisticated enough for em.

I definitely get my money's worth from the arrows I shoot.

[WESTBROOK]

" beman ICS BOWHUNTERS $55 FOR A DZ.Trad only for $85 dz."  They are the same arrow less the wood grain both made by beman.

GT blems for me! I really like CE heritage but the price is better on the GT's and they both perform well.

I've been using ICS Bowhunters for years, even before I knew they were ICS Bowhunters when I bought them from Cabelas as Cabelas carbon hunter for my compound!

[jonsimoneau]

I don't know.  Arrow dynamics shafts are a bit expensive, but I don't mind paying for them, since I believe they are the easiest to tune, and most accurate shaft I have ever shot.  The expense, of them I'm sure, is directly correlated to the cost of making tapered carbon shafts.  I love them.

[Trad-Man]

I had G-sticks...the shafts made in the states were great and IMHO worth the money.  Today made overseas,,,not so much.  I have AD shafts and they are great.  I have never broken one just shooting it.  They were all within 5 grains total when new and 5lbs on the spine.  All good for me!
