Aluminum vs Carbon

Any body still use aluminum arrow's for hunting, or carbon arrow's for the compound shooter's.

Carbon only...

Myself, i have alway's been partial to the alum. arrow's don't ask me why mabey price,i do know one thing they are easier to tune. But the down side has alway's been, straightness. alum. arrow's only last a few hundred shot's then they start to loose their straightness, and start wandering off target when shooting them.
But i do shoot carbon's only with my compound. Alum. only with my recurve. And carbon arrow's are much faster. and better for hunting.

Just carbs for me aswell

Carbon all the way. They do so much that an aliminum arrow can't.... ask anyone who has ever missed their target and hit a stump or other solid object.

First arrows I ever had were aluminum and bent eveyone of them the first day. Gotta love the durability of the carbon arrows.

I shoot carbons as well

Only shoot carbon through the compound but I do shoot wooden through my trad bows

That's what i want next are the wooden with my recurve,

Carbon all the way!

Carbon!!!!

Both, sort of... Make mince A/C/C's, please. Best of both worlds. You get the absolutle consistency of aluminum, weight on par with the average carbon and durability that lies somewhere in between(closer to carbon). I've tried and tried and have yet to find a better arrow.

Carbon

Nearly everyone I know prefers carbon for serious bowhunting.

However, many, many Pro shooters still prefer the large diameter Aluminiums for serious ASA comps.

Well said...

I was aluminum, then carbons and then I went back to aluminums cause they're a little heavier. I had a bad experience on a bull a few years back and ever since I've stuck with the heavier arrows for elk and deer. I liked carbons and one of these days I may go back to them weighted.

Check out the new Piledriver arrow from Carbon Express... It is a heavier "Big Game" arrow for maximum penetration.

Thanks for the info. Just checked them out and may give them a try.
