RE: Carbon arrows?
I to, shoot carbon and like them. I see a lot of guys shoot acc and they are very good arrows. I shot them about 3 years ago until I bent one. Pulled it out of the target and it was bent. I decided if they could bend, and they can, I would go to all carbon or just shoot alum. Don

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Some bows are designed to cushion and dissipate it better.

That's exactly my point! Although I did not have that impression of the Q2XL (felt like hitting something with an aluminum bat to me). I have shot some bows that needed a 700 gr. arrow to tame them down enough to get rid of the noise in vibration but if I have to shoot a 700 gr. arrow to do that then it isn't the right bow for me. Right now I am shooting a Patriot SC with a 400 gr. arrow and a 29.5 inch draw and there simply is no reason to fix something that is not broke. I have shot 700gr. arrows through it with no noticable difference. The recoil and vibration simply isn't there to tame. Therefore I stand by my statement. If you are shooting a bow that requires a 700 gr. arrow to tame vibration and recoil you ought to consider buying a new bow. Vibration or recoil simply is not a valid reason to shoot a 700gr. arrow with the top of the line bows today.

And that is my point. Felt recoil and shock is often a matter of individual perception. I know a guy who swears his Jerry Hill longbow doesn't kick at all. I shoot the thing. My hand goes numb, elbow and shoulder throb and a couple of teeth swap holes.
