moose arrows
« on: April 10, 2007, 09:12:27 AM »
I'm looking for a good heavy arrow (500grns or so) to chuck out of a bow for moose.  Preferably carbon, any good ideas out there?

You can load them up with string trimmer line for the skinny carbons or if you use goldtips or similar you can use the weight tubes and a heavy head to easiliy reach that kind of weight.  I have had carbons wieghing in over 700grs before trying these technigues.  There are also a few different carbons that are made heavier.  What kind of bow are you shooting them out of?

Its one of the cheap buckmasters that fred bear makes at 65#.  Its adjustable to 70#, which I would probably do if I was going to put that much weight through it.

 I have been shooting easton axis arrows for a couple years now they are the toughest arrow I have ever seen, to get 500 grains you would go with the 340 and a 125 grain head, these arrows have H.I.T. technology (hidden insert) and are a very slim arrow, they penetrate deeper than any arrow I have ever seen period!! I took the #5 Mule deer buck for the state of Wa with one of these (he scored 170 1/8"), the arrow slid through him like a hot knife through butter. I would use them on moose in a second!!!
