Default RE: Crimson Talon

Team, Get the proper spined arrow, get your bow AND arrows properly tuned by somebody who knows what they are doing (hard to find), and you won't have to buy junk to get good arrow flight. You can do it with fixed blades. I promise.

Expandables are only able to survive on the market because of the tons of people who are unknowingly shooting an untuned bow. Guys at the archery shop will tell you if you shoot over 260 fps you canot get fixed blades to fly straight. Let me translate that for you - When the bow shoots that fast those guys are unable to tune it properly, it gets finicky at that speed, and most pro shop guys are not good enough to do it right or don't want to take the time. Not to mention the fact they make more profit on the latest expandable on their shelf!!
On the Crimsons - a friend of mine bought these and threw them away after the first broke blade in styrofoam. Glorified junk.
