What kind of CT arrows did you get for him to say they will not hold up as well as others? Carbon Tech makes several different kinds of arrows to match specific purposes. The Cheetahs are lightweight and designed more for target (some use them for hunting), Panthers can be used for both target and hunting and spine can be controlled depending on what end of the arrow you hack off. Then they have the Whitetails, Rhinos and Hippos. Each one has more wraps during the manufacturing process, thus making them stronger vs. light and brittle.
