You make it sound like carbons are all straigher and most of them are not. Most of the fancy shafts like the axis are .005 and the lowly/commom alu shafts are .002 and the cabons cost twice or more. The XX78 is not Eastons finest or straightest either. Some how you think .005 is better than .002. The shafts that you are talking about are not commonly available everywhere. Besides couple of thou isn't going to make a pinch of coon's you know what difference. The biggest difference in a lot of "better" equipment makes is confidence. If you make a living from this stuff then you know that better than I do. Carbons are a marketing tool. A cheaper alu will kill just as well as a carbon. Like I said earlier I have both and more carbons now than alu. I have nothing against them whatsoever and I am not going to tell myself I will harvest more game with them. Sure if I were to shoot a 3D then for many reasons I would use carbons, hands down. I would hate to be aquainted with anyone that needs carbons to make a kill that an aluninum shaft wouldn't do because he would be an alien from Pluto.

Well folks i be a poor Tn. hillbilly and what i want is not always what i can afford. [&o]Like most of you i have a taste fer ribeye steak, but a bologna is what i can afford after payday. [:-]After that its cereal or grits or mac-n-cheese! [&o]So i use alum. xx75 and not those ebay special xbow arrows! []I buy xx75 orange or camo regular shafts and cut them down on both ends fer my xbow arrows. [:-][8D].003 i think is right runout on them and thats plenty good out to 40 yds.I spect its like being hit by a mack truck with those 2219's!Y'all just send all that excess chump change down here and i will do a makeover on most of my xbow hunting needs! [8D]

Ta Da i have come to highjack this thread! Only things to hunt on Pluto areold fat fur balls! Plus only those equipted with carbon arrows are allowed all others need not apply. You also must use worn out hog and coon dogs fer the hunt. Gee i almost fergot the main rule, only pompus old geezers may lead the hunt![8D][][&o][:-]

I think all of us are going nuts waiting for Sept/Oct. I'm thinking about getting a 3-D deer and having one of my buddies go hide it in the timber for me LOL I've also got a real big, mean rooster I'm thinking about trying my Slick Tricks and Zwickey grapplers out on. I can't decide which bow to use or he would already be zoo food. I'm slowly getting back to 30-50 shots a day, but the darn target shrunk in all the rain we got.

I knowed that rain part is right. Left my deer 3-D outside, its an 8 pt. Buck. Got up this morning and it was a spotted fawn with nubs sticking up![][:-][8D]
