Both types of arrows have their advantages and disadvantages. The key is to understand them and make an informed decision on what fits you best. However, judging by the post above it would seem that no matter what you decide to shoot you are going to have problems if your bow is not tuned correctly. Start with that and work from there. You should be able to get what most folks consider acceptable accuracy with both carbons and aluminums provided they are the correct size for your setup and your bow is tuned.

I am shoot a Quicktune 2000.



After I get my bow tuned, I will still probably get some fletching contact. I guess I will never get perfect clearence.

Here' s my idea on the carbon/aluminum debate....
I' m a college student on a budget, so I started off shooting cheap aluminum arrows. I found I was buying arrows on a regular basis. Then I went to Cabelas and bought a dozen carbon hunter arrows for like $50. Cheaper than the aluminums I was shooting and they will never bend! If you shoot just around the house and hunting, they' ll provide all the accuracy you need. I can shoot semi-competitively and compete very well with these arrows and they shoot well for me. Good luck!

Doesn' t the college student budget suck? I have yet to turn my heat on, and being in northern Utah, it is cold. That is one thing about the carbons, they aren' t suppost to bend. But I don' t group, don' t miss the target (much), and can afford to through an arrow out once in a while. Thanks for the input.

Isn' t the 2000 a drop away? If it' s like a 1000, which I have, and just a two prong rest rotate the nock so the cock vane is directly down.

Your right. It must be the 1000. I couldn' t remember what the number was.
