Heyya, thanx for the info Bruce! Yup I am familiar with the CTs. The last dozen arrows I actually bought (2005) were CT Whitetail (.005) shafts and they kicked everything else in all carbon I had tested to the curb. If I remember correctly they all ended up having a TIR of around .002 when I tested them after trimming from both ends, and spine was as tight as a frog's @$$

Durabilty was good, better than say a CX, but not as tough as a Goldtip.
I'm hoping my shop still carries CT or has the Victory shafts for me to give a try (forgot to ask when I was there). I just never could warm up to CX arrows, in fact I prefer Goldtip Pro Hunters over CX (once I twiddle the nocks to pull the arrows into a group).
However I have not shot a bow in 3.5 years or more, and I couldn't prolly tell or see the difference between an X10 and a Goldtip Expedition Hunter on a target these days [:'(]
