RE: .001 or .003
I have to throw my opinion in here. Bigbuck270 and I shot quite a few arrows today at 20 yards. His arrows are newer than mine, but both of ours are hard used. My arrows are 3-4 tears old. XX75's that I bought out of the cardboard box at Wally-world. Those things couldn't have been too straight when I bought them. Well, today we each shot over a hundred times using 4 or 5 arrows each. We were both shooting good groups, often having two arrows touching @ 20 yds. This was during high, gusty winds.
My whole reason for saying all of this, is that even if we were to buy the .006 carbons, they would have to be a huge step-up in quality. Don't you think??
I just sort of feel that for the average bowhunter, .006 will shoot just as good as .001. What I mean is that the AVERAGE guy (INCLUDING ME) can't shoot good enough to tell the difference. In other words, if we can touch old beat-up aluminum arrows at 20 yds. on a windy day, what would the .001's do for us? Stick end to end?? Not gonna happen. I feel it's just another way to charge more for merchandise.
Just my opinion.
