I'm a hunter archer; a good lone practice archer over the years; not a competitive 3D archer. I look for good hunter accuracy; not minute competition accuracy. My budget is important.

Over the years I got good results; a lot of it due to my accuracy. You hit the target; you don't usually damage the arrow. Shoot poorly and your purchase bill on arrows can go up. My costs affect me; not what it costs someone else.

If a change comes I have two makes of carbon arrow noted. Not the high end cost, but ones made by a company for years. I heard of them years ago.

Would only have to watch the setup on my homemade targets, (average penetration, etc.) I'm sold on what I use; change if I have to change.

In the end I'm looking for hunter accuracy and not running up my bills by trying every new thing on the market.
