Arthur....I only shoot IBO and ASA events (3d) so the arrow length isn' t an issue. Thanks.

It has been stated many times by some of the very best in the world that when it comes to arrow quality its spine...weight...straightness, in that order of importance.

Now, I shoot in the Senior division of the IBO and ASA national tournaments. My back problems usually prevent me from pulling so I usually keep score. The way some of the arrows are pulled, some of my aluminums would get bent. Now I don' t need to be at a National event thinking I' m shooting straight arrows and them be bent. I would spin them in my hand after each shot and it would " feel" ok but, later found that it would be bent .007" . That would be enough to make it hit off by about 1" at 50 yards. Went thru too many arrows. I now shoot Carbon Express CXL 250. Not too much spine adjustment, weight consistancy is real good, and .003 straightness. They do ok for me.
