        Been shooting a Bear longbow with Grizzlystik Safari’s the past few years. I ordered a new Black Widow 60″ KB and will be starting over with arrow shafts. I liked the Safari’s but I can’t stomach non-USA made products any longer.

        I’m a touch over 30″ draw and my new bow will be about 65# there. Firm beliver in FOC. Firm beliver that overkill beats underkill…every time. I’m looking at AD Hammerheads and Easton FMJ’s. Any thoughts or suggestions (including any other manufacturers or models)?

        Thanks in advance.

          I shoot beman ICS bowhunters. The say made in the USA. And they also are the cheapest bare shafts I can find. I draw 31.5 59# with 350 up front. The 300 spine works great.

            Sure Beman and Easton are made in USA, I also use it Other quality choice are rare and expensive if delivered in EU

            But 99% . B Widow products come from China

              I second the IBS bowhunter. They are cheap and durable. They are very light, just 8.2 gr per inch for my 400s, so it’s not hard to get plenty of FOC. Dwc

                I’m not talking about trinkets. Unless they are straight-up lying, my bow is being made in Missouri.

                    I’m not sure what your referring to about Black Widow products? I do know all 4 of my Widows were made in Nixa Missouri.

                        I am a huge fan of the Easton Carbon/Aluminum arrows.

                        Particularly the ACC arrows
