Pro hunters are pretty good. I’ve shot whitetail with victory buck busters. Dead is dead.

I like Easton axis for deer. FMJ for elk.

I think it’s all preference. I personally use Gold Tip XT Hunters. Shot plenty of deer and also use at 3D tournaments and score well.

+1 on the Victory Buck Busters.

I was using Easton Axis Match Grade and was very pleased but decided to try out the Sirius Apollo arrows and can honestly say with the current market, I will not be switching for a very long time.

I've got nothing. You've been shooting better arrows than I've ever owned. Lots of good arrows out there, not sure they will be better than what you were using.

Pro hunters are the best. Why change?
The fact weights system is the best.

I think so too... Pro Hunters or GT Kinetics.

I like the Easton Axis 5mm. Been shooting them for years.

What’s the best arrow out there for hunting whitetail? I just purchased a Mathews VXR 31.5 and I’m looking to switch up my arrow setup. Will be switching from GoldTip Pro Hunters. What’s the best out there? Thanks in advance 👍🏼

Im shooting the Gold Tip XTs and they are awesome. Gold Tip makes great arrows. If the XT is good, then the Pro is better.

Pick any standard diameter or smaller diameter arrow, in a medium GPI weight (or stiff spine in a light GPI weight if you want to front load them). Doesn't really matter what brand, but I would personally pick between Easton, Gold Tip, Victory or Black Eagle.

I think Gold Tip are probably the toughest, maybe a tie with Victory TKO series, but have some of the worst spine tolerances. Black Eagle have some of the better tolerances for the money, but are not the most durable. Easton is a good all-around balance of tolerances, duability and price, and are made in the USA. Victory has some great tolerances and durability with the TKO series... and they have a wide variety of prices because of their large catalog. I change arrows around a lot, but at the moment prefer Black Eagles. Out of all four, the weight tolerances are pretty negligible and most will be within 2-5 grains in a batch.

If you aren't shooting past 40 yards, standard diameter with the lowest straightness tolerances (.006 straightness) will work just fine. No need to break the bank. The tighter tolerance arrows will group tighter, but mainly at longer distances. If you buy shafts and fletch your own, you can spin them first and cut the wobbly ends off. The straightness tolerance value is actually of least concern... spine and weight tolerances are more important.

At the end of the day, they will all kill, and the above rant will get you small percentages in terms of accuracy and durability when you spend more money. Also, small diameter does not mean better penetration on animals... that broadhead up front is more key than anything.

I don't see much need for .001 arrows for hunting. At 40 yards with tuned broadheads and decent FOC I doubt you will notice a difference between a GT pro and a regular GT hunter except in your wallet. Just my 2 cents.

I went from Hunters to Victory RIP TKOs with ethics stainless half outs and I love them.

 

[atrouth]

I switched from a cheaper Victory carbon arrow to the Victory VAP SS with the stainless 75 grain Taperlok insert/outserts. They hit hard and fly true. Penetration on my target is noticeably better than my standard arrows (plus these are 110 grains heavier).

They can be pricey, so it hurts a little when you lose one. I had one go low when sighting in at 80 and I couldnt find it. Saw it hit the ground right in front of the target and disappeared forever.

Easton xx75..nothing better than old fashioned aluminum.

 

[Ragin-Cajun]

Easton hexx. If they make .001 that’s what I’m shooting

 

[ForestPhantom]

Easton Axis 5mm for me. Probably won't change.

 

[jboyce23]

The Victory RIP or RIP TKOs with the HIT inserts. I ve tried a lot of different ones and have stuck with these

Until you spin the arrow and the broad head wobbles
