Well there are those who believe that a high price is what matters. Then there are those who believe that paying the least amount possible is what matters. And then there are those who believe that getting better at this is what matters. Those people are the ones who do their research, do their practice, and analyze and think about what is going on. They are the ones who will look at the $50 product and the $100 product and decide what is really needed. And if the less expensive product serves the purpose as well or even better than the more expensive one, then that is the one that will be purchased. If the high dollar unit is really what is required, then so be it.
Really all that is required is putting in the time, gaining the knowledge, skills and experience, and applying thought to what you're doing. Heck its easy. Anybody can do it.

With Walmart I truely believe your getting very good quality, your just not getting Great quality. Is you good enough of 90% of the bowhunters out there....undoubtly YES!
I personaly shoot easton Axis, from ebay. Maybe they have a quality thing going on there too. I just know it works for me.

Yes, you're certainly right, you can indeed get good groups with them. One thing to keep in mind about "Wal Mart" arrows though. They are typically rejects from the manufacturer and they sell them Wally World at a considerably reduced price. I've seen those arrows bend and break when shot. Be sure to check them often. 
I'm not putting several $$ into a top notch bow & accessories then shoot cheap arrows and/or broadheads. Makes absolutely No sense to me.
Yeah they may group and shoot ok for you, but I guarantee you they have their shortcomings. In Arrow shafts as in most things you get what you pay for

"They are typically rejects from the manufacturer"
Why in the world would a major retailer sell arrows that are going to blow up. They might be a step or two below the top rate line, but I don't take this as a company seeking law suits.
I don't think they're in the money losing business. And Walmart meets the needs of its market.

I'm sure they are buying arrows that are beyond the straightness tolerance of manufactures, and then again I don't know if anyone has any proof they are buying seconds. They have enough buying power they can buy better than anyone in the country.
I've bought a few different shafts to check out which would fly better through some of my traditional bows, the good thing is you can buy only one!
