Well the biggest reason I didn't like the carbons was the shafts were prone to break after I shot a deer with them.I was shooting those Easton Carbon Evolutions.I have a big pile of arrows that I have taken deer with and carbons are the only broken ones.I now use XX75 2213 tipped with 115gr Muzzy 4 Blades.They are truly BAD TO THE BONE!!!I have great arrow flight also. I am shooting them out of a High Country 4 Runner and they are smokin!!!!
