I wonder if anyone here has a super shooter that could put this to the test and take out human error? Hmmm... :D:);):cool:

I have tryed some pretty expensive arrows that were .006 that worked good. But after braking a few of them I decided to go with a cheeper arrow. My beman ics hunters are .003 and are about $40 for 1/2 dozen. Cheeper on AT sometimes.
Here is my question. We all know that arrows flex and bend on release, this is called archer's paradox. So anyway, you watch a video of an arrow bending like crazy and flexing for a good while after release and it makes me wonder just how important arrow straightness really is? At least it makes me wonder?

I went through this headache last June. I wanted to buy new arrows that would fit my needs. Man, it took me for ever to make a decision.
My first set of carbon arrows were GT Hunter Expedition .006. I wanted to try something better just for the sake of it. Sooooo, I bought a dozen of Hunter XT .003 with blazer vanes total of 349gr. Paid $96 shipped. I could have saved $20 to get Expedition, but I wanted to try it for myself.
Verdict? Well, I have 12 similar arrows and I'm happy with the price I paid for them. I do shoot better, but I think it is me improving my skills rather than the arrows making a difference.
You know, sometimes it is better to pay more and know it is you and not the arrow. If they would have been twice the price, I don't think I would have done it. For $20, what the . . . .
Very important, just imagine how it affects the flexing. Slightly bent and it flexes more one way.Quote:

Actually its + or - .006" so up to .012". Will it make a huge difference for a hunter when the accuracy is good enough with the cheaper shafts? Probably not. Will it make a difference to paper shooters? Yep and seen it.Quote:

I would get the straighter only because they are supposed to be better. I would love to see a set of each arrows built exactly the same and then shot thru a super shooter to see if there is any real value added or if it just makes a person feel superior.
