CamoGuy Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) I have been using Carbon Express brand arrows for years and love them. I have decided to upgrade to the Maxima series, but am unsure what if any difference it makes between the Red, Blue and Hunter versions. I was leaning towards the Blue, then I saw some "pros" on the Outdoor Channel using Red, then I got to looking and see they have a Hunter...now I see a Blu RZ that they are saying gives the tightest groups of any arrow on the market...so does it really matter? When I go to the Carbon Express website and click on the "Hunting Arrows" link they list all of these versions as hunting arrow options. So is it simply a preference between wanting red, blue, hunter or RZ? Anybody have any input regarding these? Also, I was going to use lighted nocks, but I see Carbon Express is adding in their Launchpad Precision nock on the Maxima. Keep the Launchpad nocks or pull them and install lighted nocks? I am not as young as I used to be and following an arrows flight path with my eyes isn't as easy as it once was. Having a lighted nock sure would help, but I don't want to do anything that would negate the whole point of upgrading to the Maxima line. Thanks in advance.

smha6784 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Go on youtube and look at the carbon express arrows review by "the ultimate archer". That kinda steered me away from carbon express. And the fact that my pro shop won't sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamoGuy Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I appreciate the input. I found "the ultimate archer" on YouTube but didn't find any reviews by him of CE arrows. With that said, switching brands isn't really something I am interested in. CE has served me well for the better part of 10 years now with no problems. I am sure I can find bad reviews of virtually every arrow brand out there if I take the time to look. Out of curiosity, what brand do you use?

smha6784 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 The review wasnt a bad review. It highlighted many things about CE arrows. The duel weight forward concept was intresting to me, the review made it less appealing. I find that the ultimate archer guy isn't tooo bais in his reviews, that is why i suggested it to you. I shoot Carbon Impact. im sure you can find plenty of bad reviews on those ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I upgraded to the Hunters 4 years ago and I really like them. I have no plans to change anytime soon. One suggestion I would make is get Lumenocks instead of the CX brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamoGuy Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Thanks for the input. I ended up buying the reds because they only had the 250s in the hunter. I shoot 72# with a 28 inch draw so I needed the 350s. Why the Lumenocks instead of CX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldridgem1 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Lumenocks are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
