Recommend arrows for me please.
« on: September 15, 2010, 03:50:50 AM »
So not to long ago I saw a great deal on a bow and bought it.  It's a 50# 58" long traditional hickory bow, and by traditional I mean a stick with a string.  I used to have one growing up and I got pretty good with it.  Years ago I bought similar bow and was pretty good until the bow got a crack and it became a wall hanger.  With my new bow I wasn't really sure if I'd be able to hunt with it this year, but last night I ran into a friend of the family who has an incredible place to hunt and offered for me to come out during bow season in a few weeks....  JACKPOT! 

That's the good news, the bad news is that I've just been practicing with a mixed bag of old beat up arrows.  If I'm going to go hunting and get serious about using a bow, I need to get some real arrows, both practice points and broadheads.  I'd prefer wood arrows since it's more traditional, and seems to make less noise when drawing back on the bow, but I'll look at anything you guys recommend. 

I need to get moving on this soon too.  I saw some nice wood arrows on ebay that look like what I'm after, but who knows.

DOH!!!  (smacking myself in the forehead)  Thanks for the heads up.

I thought I had it in the right spot.  I was rushing and did a control+F function and put the topic in the first archery that came up.
