I don't agree with its either straight or broken saying when it comes to carbons. I shot a doe this past november with a axis arrow, complete passthrough. It wasn't broken, but it wasn't straight either. A bad wobble at both ends. To me thats not straight. I don't mean to pick on you carbon shooters so don't take it that way, just hear that phrase all the time. I can't even begin to tell you how many deer I've shot with alums, complete passthrough's and they spun with no flaws. Its really up to the individual to decide what they want to shoot, I IMO am more confident with alums. Hope I didn't offend anyone. Sorry for the hijack...Jim
