RE: Metal vs Carbon
Is that what I said?
1) You defend the blanket statement that carbon arrows are "not straight to start with". I say it's wrong and unqualified.
2) You don't agree that you can buy carbon arrows that meet equal to or tighter straightness tolerances than aluminum. I say you certainly can.
3) I believe that your straightness criteria of "straight means the arrow is still usable and within what most would consider a good arrow" is not adequate "for the purpose of this discussion". You obviously do.
You are the one getting semantic about it and saying that even if it is bad it is still straight to some extent.
However if I can see that it is warped why would I waste the time measuring it?

Is this the bowHUNTING forum. If so do thousandths of an inch matter for HUNTING purposes? I think the points being argued would really only affect worldclass archers, or pros, or someone who shoots great and is really anal. But I'm prolly just a dumb hick from NC so what do I know?[8D]

I hunted with gamegetter 2216s for about 15 years. I switched to carbons about 6 years ago and am never going back. My favorite to date is carbon express. I like gold tips as well.

Good point turtleshell! This probably should be moved to the technical forum. Of course the decision to buy carbon or aluminum is certainly a decision hunters make and if straightness is important to you I guess it makes sense to understand what the advertised specs mean or don't mean.
