I'm looking to buy a new set of arrows. Does anyone have any recommendations? Probably stay with carbon. How about the lenght of the vanes? I typically go with 4" but have noticed a lot of 2" vanes. I've used plastic vanes in the past but they would tear while using a whisker biscuit so I switched to feathers and they have held up well.

If anyone has any suggestions or opinions, I'd love to hear them!



Thank you Lord for the gifts in my life.

I had the same prob w/ my whisker brisket shredding my vanes. I now use 2" blazers strait fletched w/ great results. I use Cabela's brand carbon arrows they come already fletched w/ blazers for like 65 a doz.

Not much experience, but I had some cheap easton carbon arrows that I was using and broke a few. I now have the Gold Tip XT Hunter 5575's. I really couldn't tell the difference. They both shoot just as well and both had the 4" vanes.
