First, Elkcrazedfrk, I have been close to elk, or should I change my screen name to BigJ12elkshooter for you to believe me? Second elkcrazy8, I wasn't there when your arrow broke so I cannot tell you what happened. I can tell you that many elk have been killed by .006 carbon arrows as well as wooden and aluminum arrows with complete pass throughs. And many .001 arrows have been broken by elk as well.

I think there are many other factors such as overall arrow weight and the arrows grains per inch and shot placement that have more to do with an arrow staying together and penetrating than straightness. Remember we are talking about a difference of a human hair from arrow to arrow. Many things can cause an arrow to enter off center and not produce optimum penetration and performance. I wouldn't be so quick to blame it on .006 or any of the other inconsistencies that according to some of you are inherent to all arrows that don't have a .001 straightness.
