Jason, I wouldn' t know about how carbons perform on deer because, like I said on the other thread, I' ve never gotten them to shoot good enough with a broadhead to even attempt to hunt with them.

In the early days of carbon arrows, I was shown quite a few carbon arrows that had ' blown up' in a deer. A lot of us ' experienced enhanced' hunters won' t keep trying something that crapped out on us, so if some of those guys had bad experiences then it stands to reason they' d say that. Never have heard the bit about carbons bouncing off of deer though.

But my phone poles have worked good enough to put together a pretty impressive collection of tournament trophies and I' ve eaten pretty good using them.
