Chuck is using aluminum arrows because Easton is paying him to do so. Let's be honest here!

You can't argue his track recordno matter who it is that is paying him, the manis a killing machine. That statement is a mute point IMHO.

RE: Going Old School with Chuck Adams.....
Rickmur,
The only reason I can see it not being a moot point is that people want to know what the greatest hunters use. It's like the look in the golf bag in the back of the Golf magazine. I mean, to an average guy like me if I see Chuck Adams using aluminum when there are so many advanced carbon arrows out there, it makes me go hrmmm.
It's not that it is wrong for him to accept endorsements, but when you know someone is using something because of an endorsement, you tend to discount it. Again, looking at golf, those clubs might say "Taylor Made" on them, but they are almost guaranteed to be a specially made set custom tailored to a pro that you can't get in the store.

I was wondering if there is really that much or a difference between XX75's and XX78's?
I used to shoot xx75 2213 a few years ago before i switched to carbons, i did buy xx78's once and they dented and bent up just as well as my xx75's did if not easier?? But my aluminums did shoot great! If i was too buy some more aluminums i would be getting some more XX75's!

RE: Going Old School with Chuck Adams.....
I don't think easton pays Chuck as much as you guys think they do. I think he shoots what he likes. If he wanted to shoot carbons he would be and I am sure easton would be fine with it.
I don't doubt for a minute Gold Tip or some other carbon company has tried to lure him their way but he didn't do it. And if I had to guess it wasn't the money.
My opinion anyway.

RE: Going Old School with Chuck Adams.....
use a crown, either paint or vinyl, and that will assure your fletching or feathers will bond with your arrows
carbons penetrate deeper, i don't know why, they just do, but with todays high powered compounds being what they are, were really talking about how deep they sink into the ground on the other side of the lungs aren't we ?
shoot what you shoot BEST, don't worry about anything else

RE: Going Old School with Chuck Adams.....
Ive been shooting 2314s since I started bow hunting back in 97 and they havent let me down. Its a bigger shaft arrow with great durability and accuracey. I will stick to them even though id really like to try some carbon aluminum or aluminum carbons but dont want and cant afford to spend much money at all at this point. When i started bow hunting i was shooting the 78's and they were great now im shooting the 75's and find that they arent as duarable as the old 78s that I was shooting. But again, they havent let me down.
