Thanks for the detailed and informative answer. The first carbons I tried were the Cabelas SST, and I was frustrated enough at the time to send them back. Your comment about them being seconds for CAE makes sense to me. I had two in my dozen that were really out of whack in terms of being concentric. One side of the arrow was much thicker than the other. I went back to CAE X-caliber aluminums, then on to Beman Hunters and a variety of ICS types. I hope the quality of Cabelas CAE seconds has improved since I tried them which was about 8 years ago.

Avoid the inevitable until it is absolutely unavoidable!
