I prefer using carbons due to the fact they can take more abuse.And also I'd like to ask a ? to Beprepn.You said that a carbon will not pass thru a deer.Do you mean all carbons in general? Because my beman400 ics hunters Have passed thru deer,bear,and elk.at distances of 20 to 40 yards away.

I'm sorry I was that unclear. On a good hit even with my 30 year old compound I would expect a pass through even with a relatively light arrow even if I hit a rib. What I've learned from the DB's is that I might even penetrate the spine with this setup. With a heavier arrow I'd have a better chance of penetrating the spine and I would pay for that with a shorter effective range.
