You said you have been shooting them side by side with your bemans,what conclusion have you come up with.I am not going to bad mouth Beman but the last dozen i got, not one of them was straight.I will probably will catch some flack for that but it is what is and that is just my personal opinion and will never buy arrows that are not .001 straight.I am not to sure on the whole Newton spine thing they got going on but then i dont really care.I have found my arrows of choice from now on..
