Okay I am hopefully going to be getting a new bow in a few months and am trying to figure out what arrows I am going to shoot? I was going to try and shoot some VAP with their SS inserts but the price and iffy reviews have me thinking I am going to get some Gold Tip Kinetics. My question is what spine and I have questions between the Kinetic XT & Kinetic Hunters?
I obviously don't have my bow yet but most likely it will be a Athens afliction with 80 lb limbs and my draw length is 29 inches. I plan on shooting 150 grain VPA heads. I want my arrow as short as I can get them but I am guessing with my current rest I will have the arrows be 28.5-29 inches long.
My main 2 questions are this:
1.) Do I need the big game 200's with this poundage and putting a 150 grain head up front?
2.) Are the XT's going to be that much more accurate than the Hunter's? Something to consider is the price between the 4 options, although I want to correct arrow so if I need the 200's I will get the XT's hands down.
3.) Price- 300 XT'S = $ 108/dozen (bare shafts)
200 XT'S = $ 138/dozen
300 Hunters = $ 58/dozen
200 Hunters = $ 108/dozen
These prices are taken off of gold tips arrow building site, if I were to just have them cut them for me, I haven't checked my proshop yet but my thought is I will have them cut and I will buy a bitzenberger and fletch my own, I wanted to start doing this anyways.
Any advice is great, and obviously I am going to wait till I have my bow to get my arrows ready just trying to plan ahead and figure out what a "new" bow is going to really cost me? Right now I am thinking of just doing the 200 xt's and being done with it.
