BG. Sure I'm kidding about using a 375 for deer. Glad you enjoyed it. But the new generation of "Bow Hunters" think that speed is the ticket. You know the ones I'm talking about. They spend a small fortune on carbon arrows that they can brag to the guys at the club that they are shooting a 300 fps. bow. Then the same guy wonders why the bow sounds like a screen door slamin, the limbs crack or let go and there are constantly tuning the bow and replacing strings and cables. A good shot from a "tuned bow" that is quiet, forgiving and stays tuned from season to season without repairs is far better than a bow need constant attention. As far as I'm concerned, carbon arrows are junk for hunting situations along with the mechanical broadheads that were derived since the arrow will not tune with the light weight carbons. I'll match a quality aluminum arrow to any of the carbons in a true hunting situation and I also think that word is finally getting around to many other die hard bow hunters.
