Stan Potts North American Whitetail TV Mark Kayser Outdoor Writer/ TV Show Host Greg Miller North American Whitetail TV Eddie Claypool Outdoor Writer Over twenty years ago, Beman pioneered the first ever carbon arrow. Today, Beman continues designing no-nonsense arrows to provide bowhunters more success in the field. From the simplicity and easy-tuning features of ICS Hunters, to the micro-diameter, maximum-penetrating MFX line Beman designs arrows for better bowhunting. Now Beman has introduced new ViBrake vibration dampening inserts that continue this legacy of bowhunting technologies. ViBrake inserts are barebones simple, yet devastatingly effective. ViBrake stops arrow vibration and quickly stabilizes the arrow in flight giving bowhunters more accuracy and stealth. Top bowhunters choose Beman First In Carbon Arrows and still the best.

ViBrake Insert Patent-pending Beman knows serious bowhunters demand super-quiet gear to increase their chances of success in the field. The need for quieter equipment is the inspiration behind Beman s new ViBrake vibration dampening insert. ViBrake, developed in conjunction with Sims Vibration Labs utilizing LimbSaver NAVCOM IV, delivers cutting-edge technology that marks the next great advancement in hunting arrows and vibration control. ViBrake comes standard with Beman s tried and true ICS Hunter line of arrows, making the most popular carbon arrow even more deadly. ViBrake inserts make the arrow quieter in flight and quieter in the quiver by significantly reducing vibration. Due to the decrease in vibration, innovative ViBrake inserts give quicker arrow stabilization in flight for enhanced accuracy. That means bowhunters get a quieter overall bow and arrow combination that is even more accurate. Shoot a ViBrake equipped ICS Hunter today at your local Beman dealer, and see the difference ViBrake vibration dampening inserts can make. With ViBrake Without ViBrake Vibration Time ViBrake inserts (also available as an accessory) fit most standard-diameter carbon arrows, and are compatible with all previous ICS Hunter models. See your Beman dealer for compatibility details.

HIT Insert Patent-pending Hidden Insert Technology (HIT ) is the power behind MFX micro-diameter arrows. HIT inserts give automatic broadhead alignment because the broadhead shank aligns directly against the inside diameter of the shaft. That means tighter groups with your hunting setup and maximum penetration. HIT delivers the best of all worlds for true hunting arrow performance. Penetration Rating A real performance measure for hunting arrows. Penetration Rating (gpi/in 2 ) 180 160 140 120 100 179.5 MFX Classic Measured for 400 spine shafts 170.6 MFX Team Realtree 112.6 108.2 Regular Carbon Brand A Regular Carbon Brand B Penetration Rating is a simple measure of hunting arrow performance when comparing shafts of equal spine (stiffness). The Penetration Rating is calculated by taking the weight of the shaft in grains-per-inch (gpi) divided by the frontal area of the shaft in square inches (gpi/in 2 ). Penetration Rating is an effective measure of the penetrating ability of a hunting shaft, taking into account the diameter and weight relationship. Laboratory testing shows the higher the Penetration Rating, the deeper the arrows penetrate into test materials. US Pat. No. 7,004,859 - Other Patents Pending

Once you have determined your Correct Arrow Length and Calculated Peak Bow, you are ready to select your correct shaft size: Compound bows: In the Bow column (left-hand side of the chart), select the column with the type cam on your bow. Then locate your Calculated Peak Bow in that column. Recurve bows: In the Bow column (right-hand side of the chart), locate your Actual Peak Bow at your draw length. 2. Move across that row horizontally to the column indicating your Correct Arrow Length. On the Beman Arrow Size-Selection Chart, note the letter in the box where your Calculated Peak Bow row and Correct Arrow Length column intersect. The Shaft Size box below the Chart with the same letter contains your recommended shaft sizes. Select a shaft from the Chart that best meets your shooting requirements. All Beman shafts use a spine-deflection number to determine size.

WARNING Follow these instructions to avoid personal injury. SEE warnings and use @ www.bsafe.ws or 877-info-etp. Arrow Breakage An arrow shaft can become damaged from impacts with hard objects or other arrows, or after being shot into a game animal. A damaged arrow could break upon release and injure you or a bystander. You must carefully inspect each arrow shaft, nock and other components before each shot to see that they have not been damaged. Before shooting, place the arrow between your thumb and fingers, and using your other hand to slowly rotate the shaft, run your fingertips along the entire arrow length, feeling and looking closely for nicks, cracks, splits, dents, or other marks that could indicate the shaft has been damaged. 1. Grasp the shaft just above the point and below the nock, then flex the arrow in an arc (bending it away from you and others) with a deflection of one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm), and listen for cracking noises. Perform this test four to six times, rotating the arrow slightly between each flex until you have gone around the entire arrow. If you hear or feel cracking, the carbon has been damaged. 2. While still holding the point and fletching ends, twist the shaft in both directions. If the arrow relaxes or twists easily, the carbon has been damaged. If an arrow has been damaged, or if you believe it has been damaged, do not shoot it again, as it could break on release, and sharp arrow pieces could hit and injure you or someone nearby. Bowhunting Precautions Carbon arrows may be used for hunting if special precautions are taken. Carbon arrow shafts used in bowhunting could break after being shot into a big game animal. This arrow breakage may be caused by the angle in which the arrow impacts the animal, or by the reaction of the animal itself such as rolling on the shaft or hitting against a tree. The break may be inside the animal and may not be immediately obvious after recovery of the animal. When a carbon arrow breaks, it tends to shatter with the resulting creation of many sharp, splinter-like fragments. These fragments can be harmful to humans if ingested; therefore, when game is recovered, the hunter should always carefully determine whether the arrow has broken inside the animal. If the arrow has broken, follow the instructions below: 1. Use extreme caution when removing broken segments of the carbon arrow shaft. 2. Use care to avoid splinters of carbon fiber when field dressing game animals. 3. Carefully remove the flesh in the area of the wounds. It may contain carbon fiber, particularly at the entry and exit points. 4. Thoroughly clean the surrounding area of the wound and inspect for the presence of carbon fragments. 5. Carefully dispose of any meat that might contain carbon splinters. Do not leave for scavengers to eat. 10
