RE: Carbon arrows?
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Some bows are designed to cushion and dissipate it better. A Mathews Q2XL I shot once was incredible at reducing felt vibration. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>
That's exactly my point! Although I did not have that impression of the Q2XL (felt like hitting something with an aluminum bat to me). I have shot some bows that needed a 700 gr. arrow to tame them down enough to get rid of the noise in vibration but if I have to shoot a 700 gr. arrow to do that then it isn't the right bow for me. Right now I am shooting a Patriot SC with a 400 gr. arrow and a 29.5 inch draw and there simply is no reason to fix something that is not broke. I have shot 700gr. arrows through it with no noticable difference. The recoil and vibration simply isn't there to tame. Therefore I stand by my statement. If you are shooting a bow that requires a 700 gr. arrow to tame vibration and recoil you ought to consider buying a new bow. Vibration or recoil simply is not a valid reason to shoot a 700gr. arrow with the top of the line bows today.
