Which Arrow Would You Choose Now?

I'm shortly going to start using a new set of limbs Santa brought me but I'm going to invest in some new arrows to suit them. At present I'm using Easton ACC's which I've been very happy with but I'm willing to invest in something else. I've read loads of posts here on A.I. but all that has done in make the choice harder. I'd be very interested in polling to see which way others may go. My set up is going to be 38lb KG Apex and though I'll be shooting these indoors it's mainly for outdoors.

Nav's or ACE's without a doubt.

I don't have to worry about sight marks, so I use the heavier Nav's (which are also cheaper ).

If money was no object, then possibly X10's, but in the real world, I'd be willing to save and spend the money on ACE's and Navs.

Kae.

I'm on my third set of Navs. Due to draw weight changes I have moved up and down a bit in the spines, but wouldn't swap them for anything else.

They are a far more capable arrow than I am an archer.

All the ACE components fit them (with the exception of the 430 & 540 - where they really should have the nav piles) so tuning them is a doddle.

I suppose once I kill all of my existing set I may look around, but unless they are discontinued by that point, there is a very good chance I will replace them with another set.

Cartel Rocks!

Over the past couple of seasons, quite a lot of our club members have invested in Cartels. The specs are excellent and due to their superior matching, you can buy them individually, not just in sets of 12.

Navigators are great but I find the carbon covering is more fragile than on ACCs and ACEs, not only from impact damage but also when stripping off old fletchings. Can't speak for X10s...

If you really want the best and you aren't contemplating changing your limbs or draw weight in the foreseeable future then then get Aces. Use 3 spot targets and stick on centres for club nights (so you dont damage them), a couple of pounds worth will last you all of the indoor season. I've been using Navs this year for indoors and they are great, but come the outdoor season and I'll be using the Aces again.
