RE: carbons and recurves???
Think you misunderstood Art--99.99% sure his concern was about the arrow speed being the reason you preferred it. That's why he pointed out that most folks that use carbon on trad bows weight them in some way. Slows them down, but sure helps with penetration.
I figure he's forgot more about archery than I'll ever learn. It's easy to misunderstand on these screens--sometimes you have to read a post a few times to get the meaning that was intended.
