RE: How important is shaft straighness for hunting??
I don't know how else to put this. The question was regarding .001 vs .006 for hunting purposes.
Please don't try to tell me that all .006 arrows are junk or crap. All of the big name arrow manufactures make .004-.006 arrows and some of you are trying to convince me they are crap? They would not be in business if that were the case.
For some reason some of you can't or won't believe that a good arrow company can make a good WELL built arrow at .006 straighness and pass it on the the consumer for less than the .001 arrows. Those arrows still carry the name Easton or Beman or Carbon Express on them and they reflect on the company.
Some of you will have us believe that those arrows are junk and won't fly straight, penetrate or stay intact in hunting situations. The fact is they perform just as they are advertised and if they didn't then those arrows wouldn't sell and the companies would suffer.
The only difference is a slight and I mean slight difference in the tolerances between the two arrows. I will say it again, there is NO WAY an average hunter/archer will ever be able to tell the difference between the two. And that goes for most of the people on this board that are saying they are junk.
