Default Arrows

Looking at getting some arrows done Sunday looking at the carbon express maxima reds or gold tips, been shooting fmjs now for years and they do penetrate amazing but would like little faster arrow, which would you choose to shoot the maxima red or gold tip?

Two of my hunting buddies switched to Maxima Reds and are very happy with them.

Gold tip hands down. One of the best arrows money can by. I have used 7595 pros for the last 6 years for hunting and hunter class shoots and they don't leave me wanting more.

I agree with Normanrd, the last 4 animals I have shot. 2 mule deer, 1 elk and 1 coyote have all been shot with exactly the same arrow....replaced the broad heads and the nock but the arrow is still intact. The toughest arrows available IMHO. Hunter XT 7595.

I have been really happy with my Reds especially with broad heads which is what they were designed for. For field tips and 3D type shooting I think there might be better choices in a non variable spined arrows for consistency. For hunting applications I think Reds are the best arrows available.

Have you looked at super slim arrows?
My archery dealer here in Lethbridge talked me into some Victory VAP Low torque Arrows.
New technology...I have been very happy with them thus far.
They are really cool looking, penetrate deeply and fly like darts. Less wind drag and resistance too.
They are every bit as tough as the Gold Tips.

I've been looking at the Reds, gold tip, and bloodline from Easton same with the axis but leading toward a larger arrow then the fmj
