Aluminums???
Does anybody still shoot aluminums?? I have been trying carbons for a while but am thinking about going back to aluminums for hunting. Carbons havent really impressed me. Just wondering if anybody else out there felt the same way.

I switched to Carbon last year and love them. I had another shot hit a branch and defelct into a tree this past year. The carbon was still usable. 2 years ago I did this and the alum. was shot. Guess maybe if I didn't hit the trees so much it wouldn't matter. [:@] Maybe I'll have better luck this year. I guess I will not go back to alum unless the carbons really prove to be a problem somehow.

I still use aluminum for most all my shooting. I've got some carbons I only use for 3D and small game hunting with blunts, because that's all they're good for. Their accuracy with broadheads is horrible.
I would definitely shoot ACC's if my bank account was a little fatter.

I'm new enough to have started with carbons, because they didn't bend and break when I missed so I don't have that much experience with aluminums. This summer I'm shooting Easton aluminums to see how they do in comparison because I like the larger diameter and heavier shaft.

I shot XX78 Easton for about 4 years and never had a problem with them, this year I just wanted to try something different and switched to carbons for added speed. But really miss those XX78 I may switch back.

RE: Aluminums???
I used to use the Easton 2117's but had a lot of problems with bent arrows. I switched to 2513's which is a little over spined for my set up, but they seem to fly better and so far I haven't bent a single arrow. I beleave with alluminums it is better to be over spined than under spined.(JMO)
