RE: carbon arrows?
I had great success with Quickstike (59 or 69) shafts by Quest using Acuvane nocks and Splitfire 100 broadheads. I harvested 4 deer using the same shaft and broadhead (replacing the blades each time) and harvested 3 others with another shaft and broadhead. The fourth deer I harvested with the first one broke the top 3 inches off on a pass through shot from a treestand up 30 feet on a 15 yard shot. I purchased a dozen and still have 11. I also use a Whisker Biscuit and have worn out two disk before I wore out the shafts.
My wife shoots Gold Tips 3555 - they work great on her bow.
