Roland,
Hey good input and you are correct as for rocky terrain here in south MS, but as Mike and Duane stated Cost and Fun factor is high on my list. I just got back from the Howard Hill Classic and it was my first 3D event ever and I had a ball, but I also lost and or damaged some Carbon arrows at around $10 apiece time you round up feathers, shaft , points, inserts etc...This tends to take the fun factor out of it for me. Now before I’m accused of being too cheap for this sport I’m not I have and will spend the money to enjoy what I like to do, but Traditional Archery is a lot about the "do it yourselfer" and if I can get a good arrow from a little effort and still get the accuracy I’m currently capable of I say go for it. It seems to work for a lot of the fellow here, Duane that some good shooting at 50 yards!
