I like gold tip pro' s and beman ICSH, but of all the shafts in the poll for hunting, i would go with the ACKinetic.

ACCs get my vote. Why? Durable and straight.[:-]

How about Beman Matrix? Are you considering that an ACC?

Rickmur

Mez...yes

In all honesty I cannot believe the results of this poll. I agree that ACCs are probably the straightest and held to the tightest tolerances in general but the fact that they can and do bend like aluminums makes me wonder how they can be considered the ultimate " hunting shaft" .

For those of you that picked the ACC, what are your thoughts about this?

They can bend, and do bend..but NOT like straight aluminum.

As I' ve said many times before they take nock end hits extremely well (better than all carbons), and most people who have problems with them bending are the guys I see who can' t get one out of a 3D target without twisting the thing like a pretzel.

You can' t pull on ' em like an all carbon shaft, but ACC' s are certainly more bend resistant than straight alum.

I sent you some. Shoot ' em for awhile. Draw your own conclusions

For a hunting shaft, nothing beats Beman Carbon Hunters (the skinny pultruded carbons). They are very strait, very consistant (spine and weight), tough as nails, and penetrate better than anything else. With the advent of dropaway rests, their only disadvantage (fletch clearance) is eliminated. Oh yeah, did I mention that you can buy the shafts for under $45 a dozen?

I seem to shoot the XX-78' s better than anything else I have tried.

CX for me are tops. just saying carbon was a bit generic.
I have had GREAT luck with the CX shafts (the 3D selects I have had were all within " spec" ) they take a lickin' and keep on stickin'
Straight, consistant, and most importantly for me, they are accurate...and STAY that way!!!

price bar none , xx78 ' s of course
