Welp it seems the customer is a novice, first time bow purchaser. The bow & accessories were basically picked out by his buddy/buddies. The cheap shafts were bought because (to paraphrase the buddies) "he wouldn't be shooting beyond 20 yards for now- when he get's better, he can get better arrows".
as for the arrows themselves- They are certainly not so horrid a good archer couldn't pull off even a 6" group with them at 20 yards. With nock turning I can usually get them to group (3 arrow group) about the size of a baseball, there's always a few flyers in a dozen- Then again, there's usually a few flyers in many arrows that are 2-3 times as expensive. I can guarantee alot of people here on these forums have or still use them too.
At any rate, I'm done with the thread (thanks to those who actually understand the whole point of why I posted it)

Why does your shop sell them?
Because we sell bows that run the price range of about $350 to $800 and accessories that run from $20 to $250. Therefore we stock arrows that run from $55 to $220 per dozen.
Because no every one can afford a $1200 bow rig. But if you can afford a $1200 rig and then you decide to skimp on the most important aspect of the entire rig is just stupid.
The guy that buys a Bear lights out package that retails for $529.99 for the bow, rest, sight, peep, sling, stabilizer, and quiver, that shoots well above its price tag, probably can't afford $140 for a dozen arrows. He may have saved for several months to purchase this package and to him $60 for a dozen arrows is expensive.

Jeff mentioned his shop carries A/C/E X10's,although they are target specific arrows,they cost about $370 a dozen RAW.Points can be as high as $225 a dozen.
IMO,it is hard to beat ACC's for hunting,I have been using the same arrows for SEVERAL years now.
