Question Arrows

I have been shooting easton power flight arrows, they shoot good but I would like to try something a little more consistent. What would you guys recommend? I was thinking Easton Axis, but I am open to your suggestions. I am shooing 3D in the winter and hunting in the fall.

Thanks in advance!

I have read some good things about deer crossing eco hunter arrows.

I am going to be ordering a dozen of them to try out for hunting arrows.

Real good price and people are really liking them for accuracy and durability.

Carbon express blue streak 3 d selects in one setup. Love em

Trying Carbon express pile driver pte, in my newest bow. Small diameter, heavier shaft.

If you are going to go with one bow, make hunting performance your primary focus, and consider 3d practice. Small diameter arrows have less surface area so less wind resistance and better penetration.

Easton has their fans, and their quality control issues...I can't in good faith recommend them, as I have seen far too many failures. Im sure someone will tell me im wrong, but that's my experience.

Carbon express would be my recommendation, you can choose the same spine as your current arrows, and then decide how much consistency you want to pay for, as they are sorted that way.
