1. Get the most expensive arrows you can afford. .006 is pretty loose. In other words, that's +/- .006, so arrows in a dozen could be off by as much as .012, and that's a LOT.

2. Muzzy heads will work just fine w/ carbons. Any tip you can shoot on aluminum you can shoot on carbon as well.

3. Blazers are one of the best vanes to shoot through a WB. They are quite rigid and can handle the abuse better than most other vanes. Shoot cock vane up and enjoy.

4. Glueing to carbons can sometimes be tricky, but use a good cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) and they stick quite well. Especially if you use steel wool and scuff the arrow slightly. Gluing on wraps is the bomb. I think you could use Elmer's school glue w/ wraps. (I wouldn't though..)

5. Just be careful w/ them. If you smack them into something, check them for cracks. They can stand quite alot of abuse. Don't buy into the either straight or broken theory. The spine can be shot out of them, especially w/ less expensive ones. If you've been shooting really good, then all the sudden your groups suck, it may be time for new arrows. Carbons are very good, and you'll be happy w/ them I think.

6. I'm not sure what string you have on your bow, but it's probably either fast flight or dacron. There are much better strings out there, but some get a little pricey. Yes, it's time to change yours after 5 years. Winner's Choice are some of the best, but a set will run you around 100 bucks. Zebra strings are pretty good, and not as pricey. Gibblet's are just awesome, but if you need them in a hurry you're out of luck. Ohhhhhhh.....there's one other I just can't think of.......OH......Vapor Trail makes fine strings as well. But should you go w/ OEM, that's ok too.
