ok, maybe a longer read but here goes:
I don't have nearly the amount of knowledge about archery equipment as I do bullets and firearms. So this may come off as amateurish but I have viewed archery as I view wingshooting…..pick up a weapon, load it and start shooting. my whole life I have shot one type of arrow (ICS Hunters) and really only two broad heads ( NAP Thunderheads back in the day and Rocket Sidewinders now when I can find them)
My wife bought me a new Mathews Halon last august. They sold her 1/2 dozen of Gold Tip Pierce micro diameter arrows to go along with it. never shot micro diameter before, the outsert collar system was a bit strange but I did manage to shoot 3 animals without issues.
now those original 6 arrows are down to just 2 and i'm looking to start shooting again to get ready for my September hunts.
My questions is, are there any pros/cons to going back to the micro shafts, aside from price? The bow shop she bought them from carries and recommends them, my shop does not and they do not recommend them. they say they don't penetrate as well (opposite my experience with them, they pass completely thru my layered block target ) and they are not as accurate. They suggested going back to ICS hunters.
I don't really want to re-sight and re-tune my bow.
Are there any real world hunting disadvantages to using micro diameter shafts?
