PLease take the majority of this post semi tongue in cheek....I am mostly a bow SHOOTER. I am just barely a bow hunter. I really enjoy the 3D shooting and competition. I have dedicated 3D bows. And hunting bow(s). But I am nowhere near an archery nerd like most of the die hard bowhunters. My true loves all go BANG. I'd much rather tip a deer with a rifle or handgun and custom made ammo than a bow......I think. Simply not in a position (state) to have opportunities at multiple tags/animals to harvest per season. So I can't really enjoy the luxury or utilizing multiple weapons to harvest multiple animals.
I have a '17 Carbon Defiant incoming. Never had a Carbon bow prior. Was searching earnestly for an aluminum Pro Defiant, but "lucked" into a Carbon version. My DL is 28" Bow is 60/70 but is reported to max out at 75lbs on the scale at 28".
Having shot semi competitively....I can fully appreciate a nice, new, shiny, perfectly matched dozen tubes. I no longer run .004" garbage. And will pay for .001" tubes.
Never shot an elk with any weapon. But really have the urge to attempt archery elk this season. Which runs concurrent with archery deer.
My head has been SPINNING over the uber nerdiness of Arrow Selection. I know GPI, and FOC...and that's the end of my knowledge. Outserts, Brass....blah blah blah.....I simply can't get a handle on it.
Can I get some suggestions on decent tubes to look into? And the spine number variance between manufacturers is frustrating. Gold Tip has cut me a slight break in the past....and I have shot Hunter Pro XT for a few years. Might like to try something else. My local "crew" constantly says "VAPs" over and over again. And which video of the dude was floating around of him standing on a shaft between two chairs then it spinning perfect after that much flex? Was is Victory or Black Eagle?
Take any suggestions and knowledge drops.
