If you had to pick an arrow to hunt, what would it be?????

[bowhunterportugal]

Hi gang,

if you could only use one type/brand/set of shafts and broadheads to hunt, witch one would you choose, what weight range and wy?

Let's keep it simple and think on average animals in North America. Deer, hogs, elk, mullies, bear, etc.

I'm trying to learn with your opinions and have a better impression of what there is on the market that is worth while.

Thanks for looking,gang. And for the help.

Wood arrows tipped with a VPA.

[wooddamon1]

Wood arrows tipped with  Zwickey or Ace head...

[Orion]

Wood (Sweetland forgewood) arrows tipped with Zwickey, Stos or Abowyer broadhead. Not many forgewoods around anymore though.  

[Rustic]

Woodys with Zwickey Eskimo BH

[owlbait]

AD and Grizzly

[Jon Stewart]

Been using wood arrows with 2 blade black diamonds.  This year cane arrows with stone points.

[Knawbone]

I'm with Wooddamon 1, Woodies with 160 gn. Ace or Zwickey Bh/with woodie weights if needed.      

[tradhunter]

I'll throw out a carbon,I hunt with Goldtip and Razorcaps,with brass weights it comes out at 740 gr. Plenty of oomph to get the job done out of a 66# longbow.

11/32 Cedar or Doug Fir with Abowyer Brown Bear

[KentuckyTJ]

Carbon Express 150 with 50 grain brass insert and a Grizzly 160 with a 75 gr adapter or a 175 gr VPA.

[longbowray]

For me I would use 2018 with a 175 up front @29in there right at 600 gr. And can be use in a lot of bows .

[Bigriver]

Beaman mfx classic w/50grain brass inserts, stinger 4 blade heads. Small diameter, plenty heavy for penetration, fly great, super durable. They dont shine in the sunlight, and they look cool.

[Tim]

I'd go with a Easton mfx 400 tipped with a 150 grain Magnus Stinger 4 blade.   The Mfx is a tough arrow that penetrates great and the stainless steel blades on the Magnus will hold an edge almost all year and so easy to touch up.

[Danny Rowan]

AD Trads with 100 gr brass insert and 300 extreme or Big Jim 300 or VPA 250.

I like the holes they leave and the great blood trails.

[2treks]

AD Trad or Trad lite.
Brass insert
Big Ace head.

[dnovo]

POC shaft with Zwickey 2 blade Delta. 575-600 grain total.

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

I've been shooting Beman ICS 340s tipped with 125-grain Ace Standards for several years, so that would be my obvious choice.

[Hot Hap]

POC w/Woodsman

[Bowwild]

The brand will be Beman and the model MFX Classic carbons. I can't imagine trying anything but those.

I've shot 600, 500, and am about to build some 400 spines. I'm going to experiment with he VPA 175 3-blade and bump my arrow weight 160 grains to 586 or so. I need only 3, 4" feathers on my 27-28" arrows.
