On the old CAE website it now says Oust composites.

CAE carbon arrows used to be made in China, and they sent thier culls to Cabelas. That is directly from the (former?)owner of CAE Carl Lekavich (sp).

The fluted alums were made in the USA IIRC.

The fluted alums indeed are brittle because they all use a .012 wall thickness. They were a pain to use with a prong rest ,a PITA to fletch, and bent easily

Quality/tolerances on the filament wound (Pultruded style) carbons was generally very good..the Pro-Selects in particular..which I shot on and off for two years.

They had durability issues though..moreso than Beman and AFC brand pultrudeds. They tended to completely shatter into a bazillion pieces on a hard impact or when taking a nock end hit.

I haven't tried any of thier newer IC type carbons..they may be good, but pricing is high directly off the website for what essentially is a crapshoot (unless they offer refunds).
