I tried the Prohunters and they did not meet thier straightness they talk about. But niether did beman. So I tried carbon express edge and they were straight but 3 out of 12 had inconsistent spines or a heavy side. but surprisingly, carbon express is replacing these. At this point, I would rather have consistent spines than super straightness.

If your getting great groups with aluminums, and you have a good matched combo, don't expect improvements with carbons but the opposite. I have shot carbons since the original bemans, and think now we might be just going backwards.

Your welcome ... I wasn't kidding either , Bowhunting World magazine did a gear review on all carbon arrows.
Gold Tip XT Hunter's ranked second , next some other arrow called Maxumus or something like that.

I use the Gold Tip XT and love them. They are a very durable and tough arrow.
