Default Carbon Arrows

Have any of you guys/gals seen Muzzys new Carbon bowfishing arrows?

Anyone used it?

I saw one today and my proshop guy said he hadn't had a chance to use one yet.

Any comments?

I can buy alot of fiberglass arrows and points for $32.It's probably a good arrow but I'll stick with the glass shafts and a Stingaree

I agree, I can damn near get three fiberglass ones for that much. But they were light as a feather (compared to the fiberglass of course)

I have two Muzzy carbon Mag arrows. I bought 'em back when they were 22.00 each. (which is still pretty ridiculous for a fish arrow)

They don't weigh any less than a standard fiberglass arrow. They are straighter and take a bit more abuse than a regular white 'glass arrow. (a nice thing if you don't lose many arrows)

I did shoot the one so much (into rocks) that it actually cracked all away around near the point. It was still strong, it just looked freaky. I did end up cutting it down. I heard that Muzzy would replace it, but I didn't bother. I figured it was my own fault for missing carp and hitting rocks.

So, I recommend them if you don't lose many arrows and want a tough, straight arrow and have extra cash burning a hole in your pocket.

Christine is right, they weigh just a bit less than fiberglass. They are straight and plenty stiff so shoot great. But, bottom line is wrapped carbon is not going to hold up to bowfishing's demand forever and I have plenty of them that are cracked or broken longitudinally at the bottom third of the arrow.
