I am currently shooting a dozen of XX75 camo 2117 arrows that I bought and shot in 1980. I built a cardboard press and carbons are impossible to pull out. I have three other brands of arrows. Blackhawk Vapor's camo hunter.[:'(] This half dozen is terrible. They were straight when I bought them but are really crooked now. Not sure why??? I shot two Does with Carbon Express Terminator camo hunters last year and am pleased with them so far. I started with two dozen but am down to a dozen. There are a few that could shoot around corners and again don't know why. They are stored in a Plano arrow box. I just got my dozen Easton Axis and they are pretty good but haven't shot them much because they blow through my new bag target? (It's the cheap Eternity Bag...don't get one)

The thing is, I'm thinking that as soon as my carbon arrows are all shot up or lost, that I might go back to Aluminums completely. Maybe the XX78 Super Slam Selects.

A side note...those old XX75's have thousands and thousands of shots on them and with the exception of two or three, they are as straight as the day I bought them.

And finally, even though I like and respect my pro shop guys, they are bias themselves and push certain arrows for certain reasons. I like to test stuff for myself...besides I think my byline says it all when it comes to arrows.
