Carbon Express Kevlar - worth the $$$
I found out today that my shop has switched from Gold Tip to Carbon Express as far as the arrows he recommends, or should I say, is paid to shoot. Anyway, I saw something I hadn't seen before..... Carbon Express Carbon/Kevlar arrows. At $200 per dozen, are they worth the money?

RE: Carbon Express Kevlar - worth the $$$
I will be shooting the Aramids this year also. Whether they are worth $200 or not is up to you. I imagine that they will be to a few people that demand the absolute best for everything. ButI have not been able to shoot them yet so I can't say for sure. If they are like Carbon Expresses other high end arrowsI am sure I will be very very pleased.
From what I can tell they will be as consistant as the Maxima shafts but with even better durability than the Terminator selects. I should have mine in a couple of weeks.
i wouldn't call them a "heavy" carbon arrow but they are not exactly light either. They weigh 8.9 (250)and 9.8 (350) grains per inch which is heavier than 75% of the carbon arrows out there today. A 29" 350 with feathers and a 125 grain head should weigh a little over 450 grains. In toaday carbon arrow world that is on the heavy side. They weigh almost exactly as what an equally spined Easton Axis arrow weighs which is considered to be one of the heavier carbons.

Plus IMO they are to light

I'll just stick with my GT 7595s. They're straight, tough and accurate. When 477 grains flying at 270 fps hits the mark, the game is over anyway.
Oh yeah! One other thing... when did Carbon Express and Mathews team up? There was a whole line of Carbon Express arrows in the "Mathews Edition", complete with the Mathews logo printed on them.

If I am paying $200.00 for arrows,I will be shooting A/C/E 's and I am not hunting with anything that expensive.But I am seriously considering the ace's for targets right now.[
