I am pondering my shaft selection for next season and have read various articles on hunting arrows and the more I read the more I get confused. Some advocate a heavy arrow for hunting while other lean to a lighter set up.

Example 1
In the recent article in Bow and Arrow by Chuck Adams states that he prefers Aluminum over Carbor for a varitey of reason. In order not to type the entire article here are his basic arguments: carbon does not pentrate better, aluminum is straighter, the precision of aluminum allow better fixed blade flight. I must say that Adams remmondation is to be taken very seriously. This man has put some seriously impressive animals in record books with this type of set-up. BUT is he genuine in his analysis or is he merely trying to push his sponsors product.

Example 2
In the book Idiot Proof Archery by Bernie Pellerite, the counter point is made. Pellerite claims that one does not really have to change much in his 3-d set-up to hit the woods. Without going in to much detail he advocates: a light set-up, carbons, mechanicals (Adams does not). He also makes jabs at famous bowhunters (who he does not name) claiming that some are not really experts in the art of archery set-up.

Example 3
Ted Nugent in same Bow and Arrow magazine raved about his pentration using heavy carbon arrows.

So in summary, what does the board recommend?

My set-up:
2003 Bowtech Extreme set at 65#, tt -drop away, 29 draw...

Thank-you
