.003" or .006"?

[Sirius Black]

I have Beman Hunter(.003)and Bowhunter(.006),and accuracy wise I think they are the same. But, I have noticed that when I tune them, the .003's come out being about a 1/2" longer than the .006's (same spine). If I cut one of each to the same length, the .003 will be a little stiffer than the .006. ???

How I feel about it is if you have ever shot wood then went to carbon.006" of an inch is nothing and so minute that you will never be able to tell the differece.my shooting improved alot when I switched to carbon.

I like crooked arrows. They make up.more for my shooter errors.

If your going to be in the next Olympics, get em!

I don't think there is probably any of us shooting a trad bow instictively that could ever tell a difference.

Who has ever checked them to insure that they are actually as straight as they claim to be?

[Rick Perry]

an arrow that is spinning during flight will not be affected by .003 or .006 runout . the point of the arrow simply spins around a .003 or .006 radius circle .

aint nobody shooting a bow that can measure accuracy that fine .

[pseman]

My thoughts exactly Mongo! I wonder how much sorting really goes on before packaging. I mean, how many people would even be able to check to see if they were as straight as they claim?

On a side note, I use lower priced carbons and recently found one that was visibly crooked. This was the first carbon that I have ever seen that you could visibly tell was not straight. I it spun like an old bent aluminum that I once used. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until after I had fletched it. So, since I hated to waste a new arrow, I decided to shoot it and see if it made any difference. Well, out to 20yds(as far as I have shot it so far) it shot with all the rest of my straight shafts.

Now I haven't shot it with BHs yet, but I won't be throwing it away.

I got caught up in the same wonderment when I first started buying arrows.  Bought some Gold Tip pro hunters,  now half are busted or lost.  Never again on the pricey arrows.  Gold Tip expedition hunters. 006 are what I have now and the savings are worth it.

I think my bow arm/ shoulder is the greatest culprit for inaccuracy. Arrow straightness is insignificant in comparison.

Alway heard if you trim carbon shafts from both ends you will be removing some of the crooked.

I put BH on and shoot them if they fly true their good.....stabow
