I was wondering what type of carbon arrows do you all use and/or recommend? I currently shooting Beman Camo Hunters 400 with 100 grain broadheads. Though they shoot well for my setup, I was thinking about experimenting with some other brands. Believe it or not, I have never shot anything but Beman. I guess always thought that if it is not broke don't fix it. However, I know their are other brands that would shoot just as well or maybe even better. There are so many on the market today that it is almost over whelming. Any Suggestions?
PS: Beman 400 (9.1) @ 28" with feathers. Mathews @ 28" Draw & 60 lbs.

I have used many different makes and models of carbons but my favorites are the CX 3D Selects. They seem to have the most impressive tolerences of anything I've ever found.

I've shot a few diffrent carbons before settleing on the shafts I currently shoot.
I also started out with beaman shafts (carbon flash) back when they had outserts. Had they had inserts I probably would still be shooting them. I had really good luck with them except they didn't do well with robinhoods. I found them weak if inpacted through the nock![Wink](https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
.
I then shot Carbon Express (sidewinders) still a few years back but also had good luck with these.
I shot PSE carbon force shafts for about a week. The were very light and boy did they move but after having a shaft disintergrate as it left my string I quickly ditched them. I wasn't impressed at all and tossed the remaining shafts out after only a week of shooting them.
I'm currently shoot Goldtip Advantage pro hunters and truly believe these to be the best shafts I have shot yet. They've earned a spot in my quiver and will remain there for quite some time to come.

I switched to GoldTip XTs a couple of years back and every time I think about swithcing I remember that the arrows I have shoot great, are consistent, and don't cost as much as whatever I'm looking at. I doubt I'll change any time soon.
