My first carbonhood came about 5 years ago. I at my archery dealers and he kept talking about how I should try this new arrow carbon express came out with. He wanted me to test shoot it there because he thought I would be hooked after I shot it. After forth shot with him looking over my shoulder, I robin hooded a previous arrow. The good part is that I didn't have to pay for it, the bad part was he was right.....I was hooked on them. $$$$$$$$$
