Hey guys....

I just learned something today up at Green Top Sporting Goods (nice hunting/fishing store here in Richmond, VA - yes, they have a bow shop too). You all heard about my old " Ebay special" : PSE Edge 1000C series lefty bow, dual cam vortex round wheel, 41" ATA, 65# draw weight, 65% let-off, 30" draw length, Tru-Glo sights, TM Hunter rest, donut peep, etc...etc... It' s a heavy ol' reliable bow and a straight shooter at that. I like it. [:-]

Anyway, while I was up at Green Top Sporting Goods, getting some Easton XX75 #2315' s made for me, I was talking to the guy in the bow shop about my bow. I told him how I picked up a cheap Wal-Mart 31" carbon arrow meant for 65-70 bows and tried to shoot it in my back yard target bag with field points. He stopped me right there almost in mid-sentence. He said, " Those old PSE' s, the Thunder Flite' s, The Fire Flite' s, yours - the Edge 1000 type, are really NOT meant to shoot carbons. The bow is too heavy for them. If you want to go carbon, give me your bow and I' ll have to reduce the poundage and readjust your rest for you, but truthfully, I' d don' t recommend it.

Wow! I guess it' s a case of having a 1996 PSE dual cam bow that is a bit heavy and bulky, but it gets excellent groupings with #2315' s and 125gr tips. So...... I guess that' s what I will shoot.

Anyone ever heard of stuff like this, where a bow isn' t really recommended to shoot carbons?
