RE: looking for good target arrows
The way some of the arrows are pulled, some of my aluminums would get bent.
I' ve never used any of the high end carbons. Spending upwards of $10 per arrow doesn' t fit my wallet too well. Really, I don' t have much problem with carbons at all until I try to mount broadheads on the beasts. Then everything goes to pot.

AP I don' t doubt that you' d find spine variance in some of the cheaper carbons.I also believe that' s due to the nature of the procees,wrapping and gluing fibers as opposed to drawing a piece of aluminum tubing.For target arrows no doubt acc' s are at the top of my list as are x-7' s.For carbons you really have to look at the higher quality shafts.

RE: looking for good target arrows
I need to amend what I said earlier. What I should have said is, I don' t have much trouble with carbon on 3D targets. On an NFAA round, my average scores with carbon are a solid 50 points lower than they are with aluminum.
Cajun, the highest grade carbons I' ve used have been the Easton Epics and Gold Tip XT' s. Unfortunately, I don' t have any XT' s left. I hear they' ve picked up their quality over the past year and my dealer is starting to carry them again, so maybe I' ll give ' em another shot. Might carry my spine tester in and check ' em out before I buy...
I have scrounged around and gotten hold of a few ACC' s, but haven' t gotten enough together at one time to actually shoot a tournament with them. They' re pretty darn good though, from what limited shooting I' ve done with ' em. Their reputation seems well deserved. ACC' s, X7' s and X10' s are way out of my price range.
Well, if I got rid of a bunch of bows so I didn' t have to have a good asortment of ammo to fit all of ' em, maybe I could afford the higher priced stuff. But where' s the fun in that?
