Default RE: How important is shaft straighness for hunting??

Straightarrow,

I do not have a problem with you or any others on this board, I am just giving my opinion. The problem is, some of the posts I'm reading it seems like some people are not fully understanding just what my opinion is (that is not directed at you) or are only getting parts of what I'm trying to say.

It is very hard for me to pay more for an arrow that out performs my shooting ability. And what I mean by that is if I put all of my arrows in the bullseye consistantly at any distance from 0-40yds, why would I want to spend more?

Now if we start talking about longer distances and smaller targets then I will be the first to say get the straightest arrows you can afford. But if my .006 arrow is impacting 1/4 +/- inches off of where a .001 arrow would at 40yds and under, why would I spend more money?

You can spend more money and you will get better arrows but do you really NEED it in this situation? my opinion is no. Yes you are entitled to you opinion and I respect that.

John
