awshucks you just proved what I said above. You can tinker with your setup of arrows, but the factory arrows is more then accurate enough to be hitting one arrow inside another. I do not even put the quiver on the bow, I carry it in my pack. Strings and hunting heads are like talking about politics, everyone has has their own personal opinions and as long as your arrow/head is accurate, then there is no wrong choice.

MC2, I guess it will all depend on how deep you want to get into your bow (how much tinkering you want to do) before you purchase your bow and extras. IF you do not want to get too deep into it, with the Excalibur products, factory stuff will be more then enough to do the job. By the way, there are many people that just use off the shelf products with great results.

Good luck.
Well, here's a few more views from the cheap seats, lol. An Excal w/ FFF string and minimum weight arrows is a high strung [no pun intended] tempormental, vibrating, noisy, twangy critter. Excal advises heavier weight arrows for game other than white tail. Since I hunt hogs and bear, I wanted a little heavier weight carbon arrow. Enter Danny Miller and his version at 431 gr [loss of only 15 fps] This is basically the same arrow 10 pt advises which says alot to me. I also found some snot like stuff for 3-D targets that works great but will have to look at label to tell ya what it is, lol.
