Dopler-frankly I'm shocked you even posted nonsense such as this! You make it pretty obvious that you have limited experience with the things you are badmouthing. Carbon arrows and expandable broadheads have came a long way since they first came out. Just because you don't like something don't mean they're bad or worthless. I've been a bowhunter since 1974 and have seen a LOT of changes and products come and go. You need to practice what you preach about common sense. To begin with,I wouldn't attempt to shoot a elk with expandable broadheads. Today's top quality carbon arrow shafts shoot a lot better than any human alive can so don't try to feed the garbage that carbons aren't as good as aluminum arrows. Don't believe me-try shooting both from a actual shooting machine side by side. You have to remember that all equipment isn't the same so when using certain equipment,you utilize it to perform best within it's limitations. I've NEVER lost a deer that I shot with expandable head and THOUSANDS of other bowhunters have had the same experience. You shouldn't express your closed mind opinion until you actually experiment and honestly try different things. I try just about everything that comes out on the market and DON'T form an opinion until I know what I'm talking about thru actual experience with said product.
