I am not speaking about arrows specifically, but just general observations. I usually find that if I have something that works and meets my needs without complaint and I get an "itch" to try something new, I end up dissappointed with the new and end up going back to the old familiar.

As far as arrows go, try and buy American-made arrows, if all things are equal. I think Easton's are American-made. In trying economic times like these, your fellow countrymen can use your support (if the price difference is not freaking rediculous).
