Can someone help me pick an arrow for my Micro? :)

I am still undecided on which arrow to go with for my Micro. Mainly I'm undecided if I want to go with a shorter arrow (like 16") to stay in the stirrup, or not worry about that and go 18".

I see some folks using GT Laser 2, Black Eagle Ex., Zombie Slayers, Spynal Tapps...

So many choices!!!!

IMO you can't go wrong with the Zombie Slayers. They are about the stiffest ones out there which for me translates to accuracy.

My Micro setup is
16" ZS, 110 brass insert, flat plastic nock or NuFletch Ignitor, 2" helical fletched vanes or feathers.

Im currently shooting 16 1/2 BEE's out of mine and so far they are flying great out to 20 yards. Havent had the time and/or weather to try and see how they fly further.

Current set up is the same as when I had my 355 except now the arrows are cut down.

16 1/2 BEE's, 110Gr Brass insert, Blazer Vanes, Nufletch Ignitor Nock and 100Gr Field point or Grim Reaper Xbow Razortip Broadhead or Practice Head. Total weight 421Gr

They stick past the stirrup just a smidge

Hope this helps

Zombies at 15 in brass inserts and 125 gr points shoot good for me

So what would you guys recommend for someone shooting nap foc's (170grain head). Would like to shoot say a 15 or 16 inch to cut down on overlap, but have no idea on what insert or nock to use.

Any BEA is a good choice. Being so short at around 16" they will be stiff no matter what you choose. Jerry at south shore has a blowout on the .003" Spynal Tapps. $31 a dozen. thats cheap i just ordered another 2 dozen.
I will be cutting mine down to 16" to keep inside the stirrup.

15 1/8" zombies with 22 grn aluminum inserts plastic nocks and blazers finish approx 188grns. With FOCs will be around 355grns. add 22 if you use aluminum nocks. Or add 8 if you use 30 grns aluminum inserts. if you want a luminok add 22 grns.

wow thanks for all the replies. Starting to sound like the Micro is not picky on arrows....which is a good thing.

I think I'll shoot Jerry at South Shore an email and ask him about those spynal tapps.

newbie · Post by **newbie** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 11:16 am

They have changed the design of the Tapps and he is blowing out old stock. Too much sorting to get .001s lots just over that he would sell as .003s.

WOW! $31.00/dozen. That's hard to beat. Thanks for the heads up. Great deal.

Clint I have been using 16" BEE's with 110 grain insert and 100 grain heads. I need to do some more testing, but I like what I have seen so far.
