RE: What brand of arrows?
I would suggest for the new hunter-shooter to pick up some not too expensive carbon arrows. They are so durable. The new shooter will typicly make many mistakes and put the arrow into something hard (shed, fence, trees....) or even sometimes miss a target or two (or three, or many). So go cheep your first dozen and when you get better go with a quality arrow.
Good luck
I use Carbon Express.

RE: What brand of arrows?
Well, I am going to check these brands out this week and maybe spring for them this weekend. As well, I have another question, I am shooting some carbon arrows my pal gave me to get started with and he warned me that they are longer than what I will be sized for due to his draw being longer than mine. I have shot 2wice with them and have noticed they look like they fly erratically and hit the target at various angles. I dont think they should do this and I am guessing it is due to them being too long and flexing while being launched. Any ideas?

I believe its more on the length of the arrow not being right, than the shooter. I assume you are following through when you shoot, so with that being in mind, check your arrow rest for loose parts, and when you finally get your length of appropriate arrow size, then you can do some accuracy checking.

i don't mean to offend anybody, but i tried shooting 45lbs with carbon express and the arrows are all over the target. I bought some new BEMANS! and they work great. over 30in. in length, are perfect for low and high poundage draw weight and i even tried it. The results... 3/4 inch groups at 20yds with a 45lb draw weight. I love Beman arrows!
