Joe,

Yes indeed. I do like the Terminator Selects quite a bit. They are perhaps the most durable IC carbons I've used. They group very well. Until recently I was shooting them out of several bows. The prices are great too, at my local dealer. If you ahve the desire for a heavy carbon shaft, they are tough to beat.

Now, the funny thing is, I'm going to be shooting some Beman ICS hunters out of my latest bow. For a couple of reasons...

1) Even at lower total arrow weights I find the Beman arrows EXTREMELY quiet..not just on the noise of the draw, but actual shot noise. They have an incredible amount of noise damping properties. I took my bow up to my local dealer friend (who sell CX, and not Beman) and he concurred that the ICSH were quieter than the CX Terminator Selects that were 70 grains heavier. Bow arrows tuned fine and flight was perfect. It was not a case of mismatched spine.

2) Even though the straightness tolerances can be wacky, the ICSH have really tight weight and spine..especially the latter which IMO is the most critical thing to getting consistent accuracy from all your arrows. While the CX shafts are quite good, and much better than they used to be, I still find the Bemans better. The Bemans however are not nearly as tough, and will lose their spine and/or crack quicker if you don't install uni-bushings in them (from nock end hits and hard impacts).

3) I give credit where credit is due, the CX shafts are very good shafts, but durn If I like buying something that has "Made in Korea" plastered all over it. While I realize many if not the majority of things we use are made overseas these days (including the computer I'm typing this on), when I DO have a choice, I like to buy American.

I'm an A/C man through and through, but I'm going to give the ICSH a whirl this year for at least the beginning of the season (my season starts November 1st). The nice thing is that my A/C/C 3-60's spine and tune virtually the same, so If I get cold feet w/ the ICSH 340's I can just make a small sight adjustment and I'm good to go w/ the 3-60's.
