Default Arrow opinions

Just got a new bow and I could continue to shoot my cigar sized XX78 2514's, but I think I'd be missing out. To shoot them, I'll have to leave them 30" long. With the new bow and a whisker bisquit, I can cut down to 27"-28" and would be over-spined with the XX78's. I'm looking at Carbon Express, Easton Axis & Gold Tip. Any thoughts or opinions??

P.S. I'm cheap and cut and fletch my own.

All the carbons you listed above are good arrows, however I think tuning them is the most important part.

Buy 3 or 4 that are properly spined and then shoot them with broadheads and make sure they perform good with both field points and your hunting broadheads.

Once you get it all dialed in then you can buy the quantity you need for the season.

Good luck!

The best you listed are the easton axis, they will fly a broadhead the best. For about half the price you can get some decent gold tips. With proper tuning the gt will shoot a broadhead just fine.
