I have a bunch of Rogue river heavy for their spines tapered cedars, Alaskan tapered carbons, and dozens of 1918s and 1818s. The cedars will shoot out of a wider poundage range from bow to bow, the aluminum arrows will manage about a 7 pound bow to bow variance.The carbons shoot good out of just one stored energy level, which happens to be two different bows, with everything else they shoot about 8 inches to the right with my right hand bows. With the Alaskans, I would recommend using a broadhead that does not penetrate well for whitetail deer, like a large Deadhead. They are impossible to find back when I shoot them through a deer with my single bevel Hills.

Killy, a few questions if I may..

Did you burn that feather shape, chop it or buy them??

What jig did you use to get that aggressive helical?  I really like it !

A very nice set of arrows.

I once heard a friend say, "shooting metal or carbon arrows out of a wood stickbow is like taking a bamboo flyrod and casting a metal lure"....

I have both wood and aluminum but prefer wood. I don't have a rational explanation why I like more it more other "just because".I have not found a carbon set up tht my Hill bow likes, but somewhere along the way, I'm sure I'll give it a try. Shoot 'em all, they are all fun.

Glad I found this and I can comfortably use my carbon arrows.

Quick question: I have a Mongolian (shooting off the riser, no shelf), would the carbon arrows end up damaging the wood?
