“arrow”

Every hunter who’s ever loosed an arrow knows it falls fast. Therefore when shooting at longer ranges, we must compensate for an arrow’s rainbow-like trajectory—called parabolic arc—by aiming higher. Lucky for us, sight pins make it simple.

Designed around Easton's proprietary Acu-Carbon Uniform Spine, which is a continuous-fed, single-die manufacturing method, Hunter Classic arrow shafts are consistent enough to eliminate the need for spine alignment and weight sorting.

When setting up a new bow, the arrow rest can be one of the most critical accessories a bowhunter can choose. And when it comes to accuracy, there is no doubt that a good drop-away rest is the best choice.

Earlier this year, Gold Tip announced that it would be launching its new Velocity Valkyrie four-fletch arrow. The Valkyrie is Gold Tip's first factory four-fletch arrow.

Carbon Express has released a new line of dual-spine arrows, termed the D-Stroyer series. With three options to choose from, D-Stroyer arrows are designed to maximize the performance of Dual-Spine Weight-Forward technology, which promises to deliver twice the accuracy and performance of a single-spine arrow.

Of all the accessories a person can add to a compound bow, none are as important as the arrow rest. I am always amazed at how many guys I spot in deer camps every fall with a very expensive, late-model compound bow sporting a cheap arrow rest. That’s like buying a Ferrari and putting a set of cheap tires on it.

Achieving maximum penetration, accuracy and trajectory requires compromises. Here’s how I select and design my hunting arrows.

Drop-away rests are simple, easy to install and hunter friendly.
