Now you want to talk about some precision shooting equipment.  In the hands of a top notch shooter like Jim Pickering, with the right set of matched arrows, you could castrate a knatt at a hundred yards with a Carroll.

As I recall, Carroll was one of the first to come out with metal riser tournament bows.

I did not know Jim Pickering ever shot one.  That must have been before he joined the Bear Pro Staff.  He and a small handfull of shooters were the first to shoot perfect 300's in the PAA indoor championships.  It was a monumental feat.  Caused a big commotion in the Tournament world at the time.
