If you like black but want aluminum then just look at the X7 Eclipse. I shoot them in 2212 ans 2312. Oh yeh, I think Easton is coming back with a color similar to the Autumn Orange from years ago.

Black is way easier to find, I have shot the beamon matrix in the past(black) and never lost one.

all my alums in recent years have been camo, just cause that's what was on the shelves. Bright fletchings make them easy to find, for the most part.

I just switched to carbons and actually the camo ones there all fell in my favor as well. They are heavier(quiets your bow, I'm not a speed freak). They were WAY cheaper because it was a discontinued pattern. I most likely would have bought the black ones had I not found such a deal on the camos.

They do seem quite difficult to pull from my targets.

i have some 75/95 gt xt's in black and some 75/95 camo hunters. i put them on the scale yesterday and the camo's were only 3 grains heavier. i don't know if it has something to do with xt vs hunter, but found it interesting.

Hey gibblet how do you like those GT for hunting. I was thinking about picking up a dozen what ones do you recommend?

well, i might not be the best person to ask because i've only ever shot aluminum, gt or carbon express, and i only shot 1 dozen of the CE. i shoot a 70# 29" patriot and have found the 75/95's to be spined correctly for my setup. i either buy the xt's or i can usually find camo hunters for $40 delivered. the camo hunters are like leftovers from 2 yrs ago with the old lock nocks that i hate so i change them out with the newer nocks which is another few bucks. i cut my own from both ends, square the ends, and do my own fletching, and have good results for the price. i've shot 3 robinhoods in 2 weeks from varying distances and can't really afford better arrows.
