RE: Check, re-check, re-tune your arrows.
My purpose for this thread is to warn the unknowing about the short-comings of following a craze. Just like cam design and limb design, carbon arrow design/quality is getting better. For those who don't have the ability/tools/knowledge/desire to deal with arrow selection, at least be warned that problems still exist. For those who sometimes think they're getting a 'real deal', dumping junk onto the market is not a new phenomenom.
I'm sure all have heard or experienced both positives and negatives. It's the negatives that hurt your efficiency/accuracy/confidence the most. There are ways to check certain aspects concerning arrows, but not all. Performing tests at various levels will not guarantee results; but, it will increase your odds.
I'm just asking that you consider putting the arrows at a higher level of performance requirements than is normally given to them. It is my hope that this will help you in the end.
Good shooting and good hunting to all.
