[okdeerslayer]

Hello to start I have been an avid bow hunter here in oklahoma for many years I love building my own arrows and curious what's a good base arrow to start with for max penitration as well as accuracy I'm currently shooting the horton summit hd 150 but I see a phoenix in my near future. Have awas shot amathews compound an I been lookin at crossbows so the wife bought this one for me thanks in advance on your input

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

It's always nice to welcome a fellow Okie to the board. WELCOME!

I've "experimented" with several arrow, fletching, insert, tips, etc. combinations. What I've currently settled on are Gold Tip Laser II's with QuickFletch QuikSpin 2" Vanges, Firenocks, brass inserts and 125 grn G5 Strikers. This combination weighs in at 445 grains and shoots 284 fps out of my 175lb Axiom.

I've also used 2219, 2216, Gold Tip Kinetics and Easter Power Bolts with good results.

I'm thinking about shooting either 2117's or 2216's in the future because they're a little cheaper than carbon. Not sure if I'll go through with it, but I'm thinking about it.

Welcome to the Forum. Depending what you like alum. or carbon or both! 2114-2117-2216-2219 alum. Carbon GII or carbon express max hunters or victory shafts plus couple from Easton i haven't tried

Welcome!!!!
Carbon firebolts for me with 4in. Duravanes and 100gr spitfires !!

I believe the Horton requires the weight of a 2219 shaft for their arrows.
The Phoenix wil handle a variety of sizes from 21** to 22** series as long as total arrow weight is 350 grains.
I use 2215s in my Phoenix.
