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

[Widow's Son]

POC with Zwickey Eskimo. I love the MFX classics but there's nothing like woodies.

[flippnsticks]

MFX and snuffers  

[Kris]

650 gr. min. carbons (pic one) w/min. 25% EFoC.   Perfectly bareshaft tuned to bow then fletched with 3, 5" parababolic or shield Trueflight feathers over white arrow wraps.  100 gr. brass inserts, 75 or 100 gr. steel BH adaptors, Abowyer Wapiti or Grizzly heads honed to a mirror finish.   Heads mounted horizontally.

Or, 11/32" POC with Zwickey, Magnus, Grizzly or Abowyer broadheads.

POC WITH Zwickey 4 blade Deltas

[Mike Vines]

Home made Motor City Machete (Douglas Fir) and an Eclipse broadhead.  Total weight, I like 600 grains or more, and by more, I mean up to 660 grains.

Well, to be perfectly honest, for my go-to bow -- the one I shoot the best -- the hunting arrow is a 3 Rivers Traditional Only shaft at 29.5" with a nock adaptor and Bohning Classic nocks; it has an 8" Onestringer wrap and 3 five inch feather fletch. Up front I use a glue-in-glue-on adaptor, a carbon collar, and a Woodsman broadhead. I have altered the adaptor and broadhead to make the combination heavier for a total up-front weight of 180 gr. (i.e. a 160 gr broadhead).

Total arrow weight of 500 gr from a 51# at 29" recurve. This arrow also works from  my 53# at 29" recurve, so I get a bonus there. I use six-strand SBD strings on my bows and the arrow speed is impressive. I have a lot of confidence in this set up.

I am tinkering with a 575-580 grain two-blade set up with aluminum 2117 at 29.5", but it is not perfected yet.

[JamesKerr]

Shaft - 3Rivers Trad only shaft in a 340 spine cut to 30.25" with a 100 grain brass insert

Broadhead - 120 grain Grizzly with a 75 grain steel adaptor.

Total arrow weight is 642 grains with a 23% FOC

[Sam McMichael]

29" 11/32 parallel POC arrow with Magnus 2 blade broadhead.  I don't like to tinker (not smart enough to figure it out) with added weights, adaptors, or footings so this set up gives me an easy and reliable set up from the gitgo.

Beman 340' with 175 gns up front, right now Im using 175gn VPAs. My total arrow wt is around 500gns...works good on everything I hunt.

[BWD]

If I was going to have to hunt it, I'd pick a flo pink one with white fletching, and an illuminated nock.   :rolleyes:

[monsterbuck]

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

Danny always has good ideas, and his suggestion is pretty much what I would recommend too, although I might want some two blade heads on occasion along with those great three blade heads he suggests.

2117 aluminum arrow, with a 125gr Eskimo head, with a 75gr steel insert.

Beman MFX Classic 500s with 100 grain brass inserts footed with 2" of 2020 aluminum shafting on the business end and Magnus 2-blade vented heads with aluminum adapters installed. More details in my signature below.

So a pretty good mix of answers.
I'm working on getting some AO 2018's set up with VPA's or Grizzlies as well as Snag's Surewoods with the same tips glued on. There have been a few threads lately with some pretty impressive holes shown from the VPA's.
But I have no experience, still looking for my first kill.
