Hmmm....do they have noticeable shorter lifespans (I guess we can call it that)? And are they any quieter when handleing? I figured that if I was thinking on the right track the availability would have to be the main reason they weren't more popular. I'm in luck, I have several goose/duck hunter buddies and I usually make a couple hunts each year. None of us have enough money to go around mounting geese so I've got the availability part covered.

....and those are some beautiful arrows.
