Anyone shot and hunted with "Oust Composite" carbons?

I have never been interested in using carbons, a lack of interest derived from the many negatives I have been told or have read about carbon arrows. However, during several conversations with the person (Steve) who is building a bow for me, our discussions eventually involved aluminum shafts and carbons.
Steve personally knows the owner of "Oust Composites," and it is Steve's opinion that "Oust Composites" manufactures the best aluminum and carbon shafts on the market today. "Oust" makes a "fluted" aluminum shaft that Steve has used for some time. He said he has never had a better performing aluminum shaft than the "Oust" fluted shaft. I have to pass because the shaft uses glue-on nocks and I will not go back to glue-on nocks.
As for the quality of the "Oust" carbons, regarding straightness, strength, and matched OD and ID, Steve said that he knows that the quality control by "Oust" is so important and extremely meticulous, that "Oust" discards thousands of carbon shafts that do not meet the "Oust" standards. That piece of information from someone whose judgement and information I trust has me wondering about "Oust" carbons.
All input welcomed.
