A few years ago, I switched from aluminum to carbon; frankly I had no clue.  Some one from Graybeard turned me on to Gold Tip Hunters, and it was great. I never had one problem with them. 8)

Beman ICS Hunters 400 w/ 29" @ 60#. Matthews Q2, whisker biscuit. Honestly, never shot any other arrow from my bow, but they are quiet, durable, accurate, and cost effective. Just got another dozen today at BassPro for $55, which is better for me than $90 for something else that works as well for my purposes, but costs more.

Always had good consistent results with Carbon Impact. Went to Beemans and had to get a new fletching jig for more helical due to planing.  Dont know why.  Didnt have any problem with the old small shafts and when changed to the "fat" shafts.  But, the Beemans were a problem 'till I re-did them.

I've hit trees, fences, bones of all sorts with the Carbon Impacts and only had a couple split/break.  Hard to find now though.
