RE: Why Aluminum and Carbon (A/C/C)

Honestly, to get the same consistency from arrow to arrow you are getting with ACC's, you will end up spending $100+ anyway. Even then, I still feel the ACC's are a better arrow. I have the the gold...

RE: Disappointed in the new Bowtech and Mathews bows

You might try one of the new Hoyts. The new cams are pretty smooth, and they do make bows to fit every style, from a tiny speed bow to a long limbed target bow. Just a suggestion.

RE: Going To Shoot A Switchback This Weekend

This is a correct statement. Back it down, save your shoulder, and go drill some deer. Save the money for a good hunting trip or a new treestand.
