The Super Carbons are made by Nationwide Archery in VA for Parker and you can rest assured they are good arrows. They make three types, Magnum's with .003 straightness, Hunter with .006 straightness, and Supremes with .001 straightness. They cost about the same compared to other brand carbons with the Supremes being the most expensive at about $75 a dozen, the Magnums at $55 a dozen, and the Hunters at $45 a dozen for bare shafts. The ones that comes with the Parker combo are the (Hunters .006) and they are just fine for hunting. I shoot the Magnums with my Parker UL35 and the Supremes with my Parker Ultra lite Pro. A friend of mine at the local bow shop liked them so much he started stocking them in his shop and he said now they are his #1 selling shaft. I tried them about mid season last year and and i'm glad i did and now thats all i buy and shoot. I shot Goldtips for years and they are good shafts as well but at the end of last season i switched to the Super Carbons and have no regrets. They are great shafts and i'm sure you'll like them. Good choice on your bow purchase too.
