Straight,
Well put. I doubt most people if handed an aluminum arrow that was "straight" and a carbon that was "off" could shoot the aluminum more accurately. Yet, that's all people keeptalking about when they say they only use aluminum because they are straighter. i think it's become more of an excuse for poor shooting.

I think a lot of people are wasting their money buying $120 carbon arrows that are claimed to be +/-.001. They're talked into believing that you need .001 to shoot accurately when that's just not the case for most people. That .003 or .005arrow is more accurate than most of the people behind the bow. Me included most of the time.

big,

You can get the same or better penetration with carbon. That's an old thought process that the carbons are all light.

Also, I was talking about GT's in my post and I can punch10 ringsfrom 40 yds withmy XT hunters ($65/dz)if I'm shooting well and I'm not claiming to be the best shot in the world either. Even with the ones that don't spin well. I'll keep shooting GT's since they work so well for me.
