seriously, i will shoot an original dz of arrows for 2 or more years. i'm not that hard on arrows. i quit shooting "groups" long ago. one arrow, one spot. doing it that way they will last quite a long time. then i'm only replacing them when they are ruined on shots at game...so, again, the shaft's spine is important to me...i just have a feeling i'll be shelling out the cash for a/c/c's.
