I need new arrows for my new mathews halon. I shot CX maxima hunter 350's with my old hunting setup. I was wondering if i should stick with maxima hunters or are there better hunting arrows out there? 70 lb draw at 29.5 inches
Thanks all

I think you should go with something stiffer, like a 300, but that's just my opinion.

What arrow do you recommend?
350 is the stiffest maxima hunters i can find, I think that with CX the higher the number, the stiffer the spine. Im pretty sure the 350's i used before are stiffer than the CX maxima hunter 250's
correct me if i am wrong

Easton Axis 340 is what I use. 29"/70#. 100gr BH. 420 grain total arrow wt. Great KE and penetration. Blows through Elk.
Prolly gonna switch to micro diameter VAP or GT when my new bow comes in though.

There is nothing wrong using what you have. They are a good arrow. Better is in the mind of the shooter to a point. Myself I use A/C/C Pro hunters for hunting but unfortunately they are no longer available. My next choice would be A/C/C. Axis is also a nice arrow but for me I hate H.I.T. inserts. Bottom line use what you want as long as you have the correct spine for your set up.
Oh by the way a 250 CE is weaker than a 350 CE. The 350 is correct for you.

You can stick with the CX's, they offer a 450, I don't know how available they are though. There is nothing wrong with the 350's you are using they are pretty equivalent to the typical 340 shafts. I have similar specs and started with a 340 spine arrow, but found my bow to shoot the 300 spine much better. I also wanted to increase FOC so I went stiffer for that reason as well.

The Axis 300's I use now are 10.7gpi, and the CX 450's are 9.7gpi so still not as heavy. You could also buy one or two of a cheaper, stiffer arrow to see how they shoot out of your new bow before deciding. I like the Maxima Hunters, but I bet your bow would perform better with the 450's than your current 350's.

I agree with redwings...at 29.5" arrow (or even 28" for that matter) and 70# draw a .340 spine is too light. Look for a .300 spine if you want carbon express go with CX450's you can also check out Gold Tip Hunters in .300 spine they are great arrows as well.

sounds like i should go with a 300 spine which is what ill probably do. what 300 spine arrow do you recomend? either way i need to buy a new set of arrows due to me having a longer draw now. these arrows will be mostly for hunting but i might shoot in a 3d league before the season just for an excuse to shoot and get more familiar with my bow. im sure a heavy hunting arrow would be ok for that. what are your thoughts?

 

[Drjoe]

many good ones. I use gold tip pro hunters. I have used bemans and DCAs' that were good also

In my opinion, an I assure you it's not a brand based bias (as I was a Gold tip guy, before I became a carbon express guy, before I became an Easton guy).....

I've narrowed it down to 3 arrows....
1- the Easton Hess with the aftermarket 75 grain brass inserts, matched with 5 grain broadhead adaptors and slick tricks (15.7% FOC)
2- either the Easton
A- Full Metal Jacket Injexions with the Deep six inserts, cut 1 to 1.5 inches over length matched with the Big Nastys
B- Carbon Injexions with the same components.


Of all three, which is the BEST depends on the bow. For a twin hybrid or binary speed monster, the Hexxs. For a true and straight Nick travel flatter shooting distance piece, the FMJ injexions.

300 spine 5mm FMJ's from Easton (the axis size). I just built them for my bow and I'm totally in love... Hit inserts are great in my opinion, I cut the arrows to 29" with 7" wraps on the back and they weigh 510 grains. Proper poles...

I shoot the Maxima Blue Streaks, but considering the Victory VAPs at some point.

 

[FMJCane]

Ain't no better hunting arrow than a Full Metal Jacket.

 

[FeelMyWrathSHO]

Pretty much any arrow will do the job. But the best... I say the Grizzlystik Momentum 250 with a 315gr. Ashby Broadhead is the best hunting arrow. Or just any of the Grizzlystik Momentum arrows with the broadhead of your choosing. Pretty pricey but you asked for the best :wink:

 

[reezen11]

I have to sya haps or dca .

 

[Winston_7]

I would consider a stiffer spine (300) but I don't think you can be a cx maxima hunter. I swetched from a cheap easton to maxima hunters and my groups at 40 and 50 have gotten much tighter!! I don't think you can beat them!
