I am looking into getting some new hunting arrows. I want to try some of the small diameter arrows. What's the best bang for the buck?

Carbon Force Radial X Weave IMO are best bang for your buck. I shoot them on occasion and they are great arrows for the price.
However, my primary go to arrow is Carbon Express Maxima Hunter. They are not cheap but they are worth their weight in gold.
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

To add....Ive shot just about every brand out there. You couldnt pay me to shoot beman or gold tips either.
I am wanting to try out the Blood Sport arrows made by Muddy. Muddy makes a good product so I would think that their arrows are good too.

I'm currently shooting Black Eagle Carnivores, but I will soon be ordering some Black Eagle Deep Impact.
Excellent arrows and decent prices.

I just started shooting black eagle challengers on my ASA rig. I am really impressed I will have to try their hunting arrows on my hunting rig. Currently I am hunting with CE Blue Streaks and have no complaints, great arrow. I would not recommend smaller diameter arrows, most either don't have enough mass or their spine is too weak for most hunting bows. With hunting arrows, you want to keeps your mass up.

Love my deep impacts. FOC is great and outcerts are very tough. Micro arrow and high FOC has really helped me push my range. as far as blowing through animals....:) Does well if you do your part

Disagree on the micro arrows  CE bluestreaks are great arrows though. My BS are 360 my deep impacts are 415

Sorry, I just saw micro arrow and flashed back 20 years to the mini spaghetti arrows we used to shot through overdraws. I guess the term is still relevant, however I don't consider Deep Impacts to be truly micro sized.

Injection, DI, Vap, and muddy's are micro arrows
.218-.255 depending on spine
My Deep Impacts are .240 OD
One thing about these arrows is your knock point and string loop size will change

Easton Full Metal Jackets X2. When shooting these and a regular carbon arrow side by side you can see a clear difference in the KE being delivered on the target. Great hunting arrows.
