Yep, TFOX. It stands to reason that a heavy carbon would be better than a heavy aluminum. In fact, the testing I've done with weighted carbons has been promising but, like you said, the tolerances go to pot at my arrow length. The Carbonaeros I bought not long ago have been the best of the lot, so far, and they come from the factory at 32 1/2" long. That just happens to be the length arrow I use, so I don't get to trim the bad stuff off the ends.

An aluminum core wrapped in carbon would seem to give me the best of both worlds. I just haven't been able to force myself to lay out the big bucks for them when straight aluminum does such a good job for me.

The reason most of us momentum people say cut-to-tip broadheads is because we're mostly old knothead stickbow shooters and that's what we're comfortable with.

I really don't know how my arrow at 215 fps would work with a mechanical. Plenty of KE, but would it open the blades fast enough? More testing is obviosly in order. But then, there are those Snypers with a cut-to-tip point on them. Hmmm...
