The word is 'moot'. At the risk of riling up the 'mighty defenders of carbon', I am one who says that carbons are too expensive. Even at $35 a dozen, if they won't shoot a broadhead straight and true, they're way overpriced. I have yet to find a carbon arrow that will consistently shoot a broadhead straight and true and I've gone from the low end of the price scale up to $90 a dozen. I've come up loser on each gamble I've made on carbons so I refuse to spend another cent on them. I may be crazy but I ain't stupid.

On the bright side, I've got a whole bunch of high rollin' tomato stakes. About 7 dozen of the blasted things at last count.

I've heard rumors that going to 15% FOC will make them fly more consistently, but I haven't gotten around to trying that yet. Besides, broadheads are no problem but I don't know where to get 5/16 field points that weigh 175 grains. Good thing I shoot feathers or I'd need 200 gns to hit 15% on my 32" arrows.

So with 175 gn heads my carbon arrows would wind up weighing around 525 grains. Hardly lightweight arrows for a 60 pound bow, are they. Only 60 grains less than my super accurate 2315 logs that shoot broadheads like a champ.

Anybody that can come up with a good reason for me to keep beating my head against the proverbial brick wall with carbon arrows instead of sticking with my old faithful aluminums, you have the floor.
