I don' t have a problem getting my 27.5" Thunderhead tipped Beman' s to fly like darts @285 fps. Making sure your bow is properly tuned is the most important. Then tune your arrows to the bow.

Arthur P, I remember when some " experience enhanced hunters" told me that carbons bounce off deer or they blow up when they hit deer. Funny, I never believed them and I' ve proven them wrong at least a couple dozen times. I will agree that some of the low end carbons are junk. However, I think for the most part carbons are more finicky because of their light weight moreso than tolerancing issues. Oh, and when you' re shooting those telephone poles I just can' t imagine anything workind very well....
