<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Arthur and Bobco,you may be better served with a heavy aluminum because as Arthur has stated before,carbon tolerances aren,t very good at 30&quot;+.

You are very correct in this assumption. It is also very hard to just find a carbon that is 33&quot; long. I believe that the 3-d select that I used last year were 32&quot;, and I remember that I had to move the rest back a little. Like I have always said, I like to have the arrow past my knuckles by about 1/2&quot;, and I couldn't do that with the selects.

Maybe I'll give the kinetic II a try next year. But, I'll have to be very very careful practicing with them <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> At that price, I wouldn't want to hit one in the target.

Well here I am. I have tried mechanical about 6 or 7 years ago for a season. I took two deer with them. They were the rockethead with some sort of chisel point on them. Both shots were pass through double lung hits, however in both cases, I had broken blades on them. They worked fine, I got both deer no problems. But, I really didn't like seeing that the blades were broken (I know maybe its a mental thing), but as people have stated earlier, you must have faith and confidence in your setup. Another reason that I didn't like using them is because of the amount of practice that I do with my hunting setup. I just couldn't afford using the expandables to practice with. I am from the old school I guess when it comes to practice, I practice with my exact hunting setup, arrows, and broadheads included. I won't even practice with the practice blades that some companies sell. With my magnus broadheads, I just sharpen them up before I hunt right on the arrow, they are extremely tough. Another reason why I shy away from carbons is pulling them out of a 3-d target. Man alive, last year, I used to have to take the target down, lay it flat, put a foot on it and pull the carbons out. It really gets to be a pain.

Great posts TFOX!
