Here is my arrow
I see all you guys buy the expensive stuff. I buy these at wal mart I guess they are expensive, 5 bucks a pop. They say Terminator 6075 Game Tracker Wrapped Carbon Composite. Anyone know much about these arrows?

RE: Here is my arrow
I went to the website and it says that these arrows are 10.7 g per inch, I shoot a 29 inch arrow so thats 310.3 g. is this heavy or light or what. I bought some broadheads that were 100g. I think that I got the right weight.

Add in the point weight, insert weight, nock weight and fletchings weight and you' ll be closer to 500 grains. Some consider that heavy for a 29" arrow. I don' t, especially for an 80 pound bow. (80 pounds? Really???)
JeffB got me addicted to the Carbon Express Terminator Selects, same arrow you' re talking about, only a higher grade. I don' t know about the tolerances of the base grade you' re using, but I really like the Select version.

RE: Here is my arrow
There are three main considerations to, uhm, consider when selecting arrows- Spine, Weight and Straightness. Aluminum gives you all three at the lowest cost. Some carbon will be the same cost, but will be all over the board in the three specs. Higher priced Carbon or Carbon/aluminum will be much better in all three specs, with some (ACCs) rivaling aluminum in consistency.
Have you weighed each of your individual finished arrows? Have you spin tested them?
Perhaps the reason for you volleyball sized groups at 25 yards you referred to in another post is due to your arrows, not you
Chances are, you don' t have many matched arrows in the ones you bought. If you are going to shoot a heavier arrow anyway, you' ll get better specs with aluminums for less money...
