Is that for the full length of the shaft or are they pulling their standard trick of only guaranteeing it over 29" span? It's the ends of the raw shaft that mess me up, because I can't cut anything off a raw shaft to make an arrow.

How long do they hold onto their straightness and spine? I have yet to see any 100% carbon shafts that can retain their original straightness and spine for longer than a couple months of hard shooting. Maybe they last for guys that only shoot 20-30 arrows a week, but for someone like me that shoots maybe a thousand arrows a week...

Before someone flings it out there: "But the Pros shoot them." Yeah, but they don't tell you how many dozens of arrows they go through in a season, do they.

commandr45... Two words. Arrow Straightener. Works wonders for keeping aluminum and aluminum core arrows in top shape. I've got aluminum arrows that are 5 years old and still check straight within +/- .001" because of my straightener.
