chaded,
a bad batch is very possable. dont get me wrong,like i stated i have been a loyal ,and fithful thunderhead user for a very long time. once you find somthing that has served you well,its rough to trust,or switch to anything else. in bow shooting,wether its for hun ting,or 3d shooting,or just plain old shooting to stay in form,and shape,i exspect high standards in both myself,and my gear. with all the mechanicals out there the grim reapers were the ones recomended as first choice. so i thought with so many recomending them,there has to be something to them .and i have to be honest,and fair,,,it was my first time with them.. it is very possably a bad batch,or something that just got through quality control. i still have about 6 of them i have not used,,but ive sharpened myself. will i use them? well to be honest id have to say,i might. just right now with the season on top of us,,i may not have the time. or i might have to make time,to give them a honest try. i just hate to try something new,that didnt serve me well the first time arround,,and to not be able to recover the deer i shoot. if the 350 are to weak ,witch i totally agree they are,,,you would of thought the 450 shafts would have been. or at least thats what the ceo of carbon express,and i thought. i saved the thread you sent,,i just read partly through it,and found it to beinteresting,so i will read it all ,this even. thank you for the link.
