Jeff, for the price I pay for ACE here in canada , with out components, not to mention the weave of companies like gametracker, CT McKinneys seems much tougher to me then the straight laminate of ACE, of course knowing from experiences of shooting ACE. I think I will go for an arrow that is roughly $40-50 cheaper and will most likely last longer, and not bend, probably not snap as fast either. The Mckinneys are ever straighter then the ACE and the same straightness as X10 same weight and better spine coverage with the MAC system. They and other carbon companies have had great reveiws. I like easton, but they charge way to much. Especially for a student aspiring for the olympics like me.
Good shooting.
Dylan
