Re: Stumpin'!
Id venture to say, a sleeved carbon is as tough as it gets. Im looking forward to venturing out in that direction soon.
Man, those are some seriously wicked heads. I cannot imagine much of anything reasonable ever holding up to those sons of a guns. That is a lot of "MESS YOU UP" on the end of that arrow....

Mostly been messing up other arrows. That's the sgt I hit a glass bottle with. Bent those claws a little you can see it in the pic a little bit. Those bottles are crazy hard.
I think there is a little something to footing the carbons. I've had some that just break right behind the footing.

Man, I am devastated! I thought I carried some weight around here, now this!Carpdaddy wrote:Did you just call me Kirk? I may not take offense too it but poor Kirk, his reputation is destroyed!
As for aluminums, I shot GameGetter XX75's in 2216 and 2219 out of my c....c...."other bows", and found them very durable and tough, especially on stumps

Re: Stumpin'!
its very naughty of you boys shooting those infernal wheel bows!
Just for the sake of conversation what compound bow would you suggest for me? Assuming I would want a light mass, no fuss bow, about 65# with a 650 grain, high foc, carbon arrow.....

Re: Stumpin'!
hrhrhr no.. I've had the chance to shoot a couple nice wheel bows and they are not for me..my interest in that is more for testing arrows than using the dang thing, I just like to play devils advocate from time to time
Re: Stumpin'!
back on to stumping arrows.. I know we were talking about aluminums but I must admit, i have been thinking about a nice set of tapered dough fir more than metal arrows I have only shot cedar woodies myself... I cant help but wonder

Re: Stumpin'!
Lol! Chicken!
I think as far as end impacts, douglas fir can take a bit more then cedar...but to my assessment its not by leaps and bounds as I've heard from others. Ive noticed they do not get dents and dings along the shaft as much or as quickly as cedar tends to. I do think douglas fir makes a better stumper, and for the money worth the upgrade (its close to the same)....even if the upgrade is more minimal then I had originally thought it to be. Im at a point now in shooting both wood types enough to really get a good and open minded perspective, that Im seriously happy with either one. Imo, either one fits the bill for target or hunting, with fir having a slight edge over cedar for traditional stumping. I certainly think you should try them, they are nice shafts. If you get them from Surewood, let me recommend spending the extra dime to get the premium shafts. They tend to come more straight, more consistent in diameter and spine then the hunter grade, and better quality with better looks.

Re: Stumpin'!
FWIW I haven't shot either of my wheelies since "goin' trad". Ain't sold 'em yet, but haven't shot them. They don't eat much and clean up after themselves.

Re: Stumpin'!
I thought it was blasphemous to own one, Sold mine probably ten years ago.
