2026 Arrow Setup

[jalexander]

Hey all, I shoot an 80lb Alpha X 33 at 29” draw. I’m looking for a new arrow build this year. I have some Bohning Heat Vanes, but I’m second guessing using them as I have read people have issues with inconsistent broadhead shooting. I’m looking to be around 460-490 grain. Open to all suggestions.

What broadhead are you shooting?

Heat are good vanes for field tips or if you want to four fletch. I see no reason to though as you can go lighter with a three fletch and taller vane.

Any of the arrow manufacturers will work. I’ve gone to the Easton 5.0 and am happy. I wasn’t when I had a half out as I got some breaks. But since doing a HIT and titanium collar I haven’t lost a single arrow and a couple times I should have.

I prefer a 5mm for a good diameter and ease of finding components.

RIP TKO is great too, but I really wanted to make the Easton work as they are American made.

Going to be shooting an Iron will or Sevr mechanical broadhead
