Yeah just ask me as I type this with one hand. I am switching to aluminum. Know I aluminum can break and such...just donot want to take the chance just yet. I am also not saying that I might go back to carbons someday...just not for awhile. I will be shooting XX75 2315.

I shoot carbons and have for the last 5 years or so. With my Allegence I want to find a XX78 shaft that will shoot from the same set up as my Carbon Express's do and shoot both, just havn't got around to it yet.

XX78 2213 tipped with Slick Tricks...when it gets to where I can't kill deer with this combo I might switch...but then again I will probably take a closer look at my form

Last 3 yr have been shooting carbon. I like the way they shoot but I think they aretoo light. I have not been getting the penetration I like (through and laying on the ground). Although all my shots I have seen drop so that’s not too bad. I just don’t like the arrow inside or sticking out the exit side. Before that I shot aluminum XX78 2315 never had one not blow through. So this season I’ll be going back to aluminum or putting weight tubes in my carbons.

Aloha All ,
I shoot XX75 2216 and have no problems with them . Infact I just shot a goat quartering to me slightly and hit the shoulder and exited the stomach. Goat slowly moved down the trail and I wathced it stop and take a break . I checked my arrow and it was still spinning true . The goat stood up so I nocked the arrow again and let it rip. Put the arrow in the same hole in its shoulder but hit both lungs and dropped him . My friend tripped out on one entry hole and two exit holes
Accuracy and durability, not to mention a great price.
