I shot xx75's for 7 years and then switched to carbon's when I got my new bow. I was getting cracks in the arrows just from target shooting. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't see the arrow in flight either. I just pick up a dozen xx75's from the pro shop the other day and am gonna stick with what I know. I also got rid of the whisker bisquit and went back to a prong style rest.
