It's basically the same as the past 4 years..... but Different.[&:] Still shooting 340 ICS Hunters with 125 grain Thunderheads, ACC nock inserts and nocks. The change is I've gone from 4 inch feathers with a little helical to 4 inch quick spins. First thing I've found is they do shoot well. Second thing, the Quick Spins aren't as durable as my old feathers, but they do shoot well. You just can't shoot spots with them. I use a Muzzy Zero so they don't get buggered up that way, just from hitting each other. I still have a bunch of feathered arrows ready to go incase I become disinchanted. They shoot close to the same spot. I did pick up about 25 grains in weigh and lost a few fps speed. OH, about 450 grains.

Either A/C/C 3-60s or A/C super slim 340s. 3" feathers, wraps and lumenoks. Will be tipped with either 100 grain Slicktricks or 100 grain Crimson Raptors. Speed will be anywhere between 285 & 294.
I've been hearing great things about the Carbon Express Maximas. I despise an all carbon arrow but I may just have to give them a try.

Go with the Carbon express maximas. My total weight was 342 grains with blazers 100 grain point and bulldog collars. These are very consistant arrows and very strong. I love em. Check em out. Note: I took a guess on your draw length(30) and I calculated it out and with what you want on a maxima 350 would come out to around 390-400 more or less. Just a quick calculation. Hope it helps.

I use Gold Tip XT 55/75 with airbrushed/handpainted crestings and these oddball looking feathers that I found at Cabela's. 100gr. Muzzy 3 bladers. I've had good luck with this setup for several years now.
