Tfox,
I might be blind.... Did you give the set-ups including length and broadhead weight for you short-draw set-ups. I am curous as to the specs of the aluminum 2213/2414's... your pals had problems with.
Due to the size it would be my understanding that the shorter the arrow the stronger the shaft as far as the aluminum shafts go.
Less leverage to cause bending/failure due to the size.

Also the poundage of the bows.


Arthur,
I agree wholeheartedly with the one set-up all conditions thought process. I am a K.I.S.S. hunter as far a equiptment goes. (It's tough to replace something that fails when you are in the bush!)

Thanks



Greg
