Jim,
Let me let YOU in on a little secret......a lot of that stuff is money thrown AWAY!!! Point being, I shoot arrows that I pay about $62/dozen, and the only thing I do is put a ST BH on the tip. And I've only lost TWO of them in 3 yrs, and both were my fault. I've heard guys say you have to pay $$$ for quality, but that just ain't true!!! Look at these couple pic's. I've done this 15 times, to these "cheap" arrows, and I just busted one this morning, not a RH, but REAL close.....And these were $62/dozen all total!!!!
If I'd taken pics, I could shot you 13 more just like 'em, shot with a total of 5 different bows.
Now read my signature line and see what they are. And they're just on sale for $49.99/dozen, raw shafts RIGHT NOW!!!
I'm not CHEAP, I'm THRIFTY, or so I'd like to think.....
