Default RE: Cutting Carbon Arrows?

I ended up going to Wal-Mart and purchased (100gr eastman outfitters silvertips) for about $12 for three of them and they work as good or better than the more expensive brands. I arrowed 6 deer with them this year including a 230# Illinois buck and all fell within sight distance of my stand. In the last two years I've been using them they've even taken down 4 russian hogs for me.
That's impressive, I bought these broadheads for turkey hunting and had HORRIBLE experiences with them. I did kill one turkey with them, but as far as anything else, I would never shoot them again. I shot a total of 4 animals with these heads and not one head survived the shot. I shot a squirrel, coyote, armadillo, and a coon. I found the blades to be brittle and dull out of the package. but if they work for you, keep it up.
