The Bloodsport Witness would be my choice of the two. It's straighter and has a good 20" arrow weight at 325 gn.

I dont own any but some folks that are advertising that $29 price is for the 20" Bloodsport Hunter arrows. From what I read about them theyre.003 straightness with 70 grain inserts and are factory fletched. Total weight is 300 grains without point or broadhead. I do shoot BEE's that come factory fletched. Theyre also .003 straightness and come with brass insertsand they run somewhere @ $35-$39 on Ebay. I believe with 100 grain broadheads mine weigh in around 425 grains. I also own some Decimators which shoot good enough for me out to @ 45 yards from my recurve crossbow. I believe theyre built about the same as the others Ive mentioned. For me these shoot good enough out to 45 yards or so which is my limit on shots. If I wanted to tighten my groups up an inch or so out at 60 yards and beyond I'd look at custom arrows. There's a lot to choose from. Just make sure youre getting something with those heavier inserts if you want what I call decent arrows that groups together.
Without buying custom arrows there is always a possibility of getting some "flyers". What Ive seen is maybe an arrow or three out of a doz might shoots 2"-3" away from the group. You can always tighten them back up into the group by rotating to another fletching for the cock vane. Lately, on the last doz I bought (I bought 6 at a time, twice) I didn't have any flyers. Good luck.

The Witness shafts have a stiffer spine than the Decimators which I think is better. As far as the white on the shaft goes. Its a gimmick imo. I shot a buck with one last season and didn't see hardly anything on it. And yes it was a good shot. The white area on the ones I have is 2.5" not 5" Results may vary I guess. From what I was told by another member here. The spine on the hunters is the same as the Witness shafts but I dont know that to be a fact. The Witness shafts did test stiffer than the Decimator shafts for me. Also stiffer than Bee's but not as stiff as Zombies or Spynal Tapps. I have not tested the hunter shafts.
