When they say weight tolerance +/- 1.00 is that all the arrows of that type they make or do they put 6 or 12 arrows together that are about the same weight.So if I had arrow x and six months later got six more would both groops be about the same.  |

Thats a good question  This is the manufacturing selection (bid) process tolerance standard. What this means is that all arrows will (they claim) fall into these specs. for that shaft at an time. +/- .001 means that the shafts can have a .003 deviation overall from best to worst in the set. This is why I like matched sets and used to only CX matched sets when they were offered over the shelf. Those sets were .001 period....no deviation |

BT's right  some companies will match all their shafts, others will match individual dozens and the next doz you get may be off a few thousands from the previous doz. |

If your looking for perfection....look back at aluminum  |

If your looking for perfection....look back at aluminum AMEN!! I get called old school for shooting aluminum but I haven't found better. As a matter of fact, I was at the range yesterday and missed on an 80 yd. shot. The arrow buried an inch in the 2x4 above the target. (shooter error   ) I pulled it, it spun true and I hit the spot with it on the next shot. Anyways, I seem to group aluminum better than carbons and they seem to shoot better in my set up so I guess I will stay old school.  |

I once said that carbon was the best value out there but I have stopped saying that for the last few years. True...performance still belongs to carbon when speaking of weight (GPI) but when your shooting heavier weights....you can hit your GPP easy enough with aluminum. Now I can get 2 dozen aluminums for the cost of 1 dozen carbons. That is a recent change in the market place and lets not go advertising it or they will start jacking those costs too! |

Good point, BT. I wasn't even thinking about cost, just performance.
