$10 Arrow Vs $20 Arrow (I did not expect this)

James puts his Gold Tip Velocity Pro 300 arrows head to head with the Deer Crossing Archery Hunter 300 arrows to see if the more expensive or less expensive arrows would show much difference in accuracy results out of the Bowtech SR350 compound bow and arrow. James also tests his new Unbound Archery string with bloodline technology.

I shoot the Same DCA arrows. However I cut and fletch them myself. I did a similar test but with some Maxima Reds, GT XT Hunters and Easton UA 6mm. The DCA’s shot as good or better out of my setup. Loves the video. Thanks

[@BowDisciples]

Yeah they are awesome, thanks!

[@michaelbushey2787]

I love these videos. Yes!! I shoot 400 spine fmj with 75 grain insert coming in at 510 grains. But I'm switching to rip tko's 340 spine and bringing my weight down a bit. Im going up in draw weight from 60 to 65 and hopefully to 70 before the season comes.

How expensive is your scale?! Ten thousandths of a grain? Is that your average of all of your arrows or is that just the weight?

Currently shooting Black Eagle Rampage shafts, 300 spine, with 4x Q2i Vanes, 2 degree ish offset, 4 inch wrap, 50gr halfout, 100gr tips for a total weight of 438gr. Looking at swapping to either Easton Sonic KEs or Black Eagle Carnivores, but trying to drop down to around 425gr total weight.

[@BowDisciples]

Wounds like a nice set up brotha

[@joebu03]

Shot Gold Tip Hunter XT for years, just started shooting Velocity XT 300 this year 150 grains up front total 423 grains. Think it comes down to shooting form and being accurate over arrow price. See way to many people with expensive arrows that can’t shoot.

[@BowDisciples]

Agreed brotha, thanks!

Shooting Sportsman’s Warehouse Vital Impacts 340’s which I believe are actually GT Velocity’s. Have 200 up front and coming in at 464 grains. Will likely upgrade to Velocity XT’s or Pros eventually just to get a bit better tolerances since these are like .005 straightness. Might have to check out these dear crossing arrows to tinker with. Seem like a great value arrow.

[@BowDisciples]

Do you know the price per arrow on them?

@@BowDisciplesout of the box already fletched $7 but when I add brass inserts and field tips probably closer to $9. The last dozen I got was probably the worst batch I’ve bought.

Great video👍 I have almost always used cheap arrows except for my gold tip kinetic pierce. Right now I use accmos arrows from Ali express. 40$ a dosen and it's absolutely the best arrows I have used. Not that they shoot better but they are small diameter shafts with a really thick wall and som serious weight. I have a short draw at 27" and my arrows with 40gr inserts and 100grain head gives them a total weight of 523grains. Always liked a heavier arrow especially for hunting. I also use them for 3d. Reach is max 100 yards for me before I make contact with the sight. Cheap arrows ain't always bad.

[@BowDisciples]

Agreed! Thanks man

Shoots darts son!!!! All I gotta do is spin bare shaft ,cut wobble out ( if possible) . Group, and fly like Lazer beams man!!!! Don't matter the model shaft. It matters if you care and build them right. Expensive shafts do spin fantastic right off and weights are very close, but even hunting arrows within 5 grain ( with a little love nock tune with broad heads) will tune . Its the initial build that will bring light to the archer who fails on his end.
