I'm setting up a new bow, Elite Terrain, that I picked up at a charity auction back in May. I've shot it a few times with the parts that it came with and an arrow from my old bow and I really like it. Much more forgiving than my Bowtech, so I'm about to rig it out with a better quality test (QAD MXT) and some new arrows to get ready for hunting season.
I haven't bought any new arrows in years and now there are tons of new options out there and I'm not sure what to get. I've got a cart started at Lancaster Archery, but need to add some bare shafts. What are you guys running for hunting arrows these days?
I've been shooting Easton Axis and FMJ for privacy the last 15 years and I'm not opposed to sticking with what I know, but if there's something better these days..... let me know. I like to run Blazers with a much helical as possible to steer fixed blade broadheads..... Slick Tricks have never let me down.
Also, Easton spine calculator seems pretty aggressive to me. I've never bought stiffer than a 340 spine arrow (28"DL, I've run arrows from 27" to 30" over the years, always at 70lbs, on bows from mild to pretty extreme draw curve). They're now saying I need a 300 spine for even a 60lb mild cam bow. What gives? Has something changed in the last 5-6 years since I bought arrows?
