RE: carbon v/s aluminum
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Properties of carbon arrows aloows 1 spine of arrow to work well with more variables whan aluminum (usually, you'll only find 3-4 spines in a carbon arrow range, vs. dozens for aluminum). This means you have a little more forgivness with carbon when setting up the bow. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>
The downside to having one arrow with a 20 pound spine range is that you rarely get a perfect spine for your particular setup. I never have been very satisfied with anything that comes packaged as 'one size fits all.' With the dozens of aluminum sizes available, you can fine tune arrow spine to perfection.
Timbow, I don't know what hunting shows you watch, but the ones I've seen NEVER show a busted arrow. They never show an arrow stop dead after just a few inches of penetration either (unless your vcr has a stop frame button and you watch the sequence frame by frame). The sponsors wouldn't allow the producers to show their products doing such things.<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
