Default PSE Carbon Force

Has anyone used these arrows and if so what did you think of them?

I found them to be very light. I shot dominator 300 from my pse firestorm light until one disintergrated as it left my bow. The problem I found with these arrows is the spine seem to be very unconsistant. Out of the dozen arrows I bought almost half were "fliers" and I feared the same results as the arrow that "exploded".

I love PSE but the arrows are a diffrent story IMHO.

This is all I have used for the past 4 years so I have nothing to compare them to. I agree with adams though, I buy a half dozen at a time and there's usually a couple of strays.

Maybe I'll switch to something else, any suggestions????

Shot the Dominator 300's for a while and got excellent groups with them !

I had the rougher finish ones from a year or two back ! I had a lot of trouble with the nock ends splitting ! Switched out the PSE nocks for Eastons and it helped.........but still had a lot of them split anyway !

Besides that.......I thought they were a great arrow for the money !!

After the incident I switched to GT pro hunters. They hurt my wallet for a week or so but I've fallen in love with them. They are rugged, Straight as and arrow(please excuse the pun), and amazingly close to the same weight +/- 1g per dozen. Believe it or not the wreight is right on. I do not own a spin tester so I can't confirm 100% that they are w/i .001 but I have not 1 flyer in the group.

I've shot beman and carbon express in the past and had good luck with both of them. I was just scared $#!^less after that arrow let go in my face. Broken equipment I can deal with but a broken me is unacceptable.

Besides that.......I thought they were a great arrow for the money
I liked the way the good one proformed. Problem is getting more than 50% good ones out a dozen.

Here is what is being said on the PSE message board

Also if it matters, for the record GT are made in Utah U.S.A.

I was shooting the camo dominators. I don't know if they are made diffrently or not but the ones I got were junk. [:'(]

I'd be curious to see what results others have had with the pse shafts.

I've been shooting the Extreme 400s for about 8 months. I have a couple dozen and haven't had a problem yet. I think the Extremes are more consistent than the Dominators. My only problem seems to be shooting off vanes/feathers and shattering the ends. If you hit a nock (one that you've already shot into a target) with a subsequent arrow, the back of the arrow will shatter.

I have purchased a dozen CX 400s (to arrive shortly) to compare. I'm bidding on some Blackhawk Vapors as well (would like to test 'em out). I'll eventually buy some Eastons to try also.

I used the Carbon Force 200's and had no problem's with them ,but decided to go with the Gold Tip 3D Pro's this season for a change. The Carbon Force certainly fit the budget . I had a couple arrow's that I couldn't tune but over all i thought Carbon Force was a pretty decent arrow.

They are all I have ever shot. I have not shot one other arrow. I did buy some Goldtip XT's. I liked the PSE's but the cracked easily.
