fredbearfan, then you should try carbon. Trees are made of wood, wood is made of carbon. Carbon arrow stuck in a tree, no worries. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Really though, I do think carbon arrows are a good match for light draw bows.

towerrat, I use cedar, aluminum and carbon, depending on my mood at the time. Don't much like carbon on heavier draw bows because it's so light it gives me more handshock and vibration than I care for. They say there are heavier carbon arrows on the market now, but I haven't been able to lay hands on them, and so have no opinion of them as yet. I like the concept though.

Now, if they could just make a carbon that gives off the heavenly aroma of a well seasoned Port Orford cedar when they break... <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

My experience with broadheads is exactly opposite of Josh's. Can't get carbon arrows to put a broadhead in the same place twice while aluminums will go right where I aim them. Field points fly great for me from both aluminum and carbon.

Obviously, what works for one shooter might not work for another. Only way to find out is to give 'em a try and see what they do for you.

Thanks for your sacrifices in service to our country, Merry Christmas, and God Bless you and all the rest of our men-at-arms.
