O yaI forgot anout you have to use more weight for bears.[&:] Well, i don't really agree with you on wthe wood shafts. I have used them before andthe bow was perfectly in tune and was shoooting awesome with aluminums. But, then when we tried out cedar shafts we couldn't hit he broadside of a barn. Then I looked down the shaft of them and they were all warped. I do not know about the hardwoods but them cedars sure didn't work for me.
