Carbon for me! Either straight or broke, but no bent!

aluminum easy to tune carbon a little harder mayby to tune but more indestuctable.Ishoot all arrow materials I just made up some footed shafts I got from raptor for 3d.

I have shot aluminum (2216s & 2117s) for years, but I started shooting 3 rivers Trad Only carbon shafts a year ago and they just Rock! I really like the Trad Only Carbons I have been shooting.

I've never tried carbon, I just can't get past how much they cost. Yeah, cheaper in the long run, heard it a million times. I still won't spend that much on arrows.

I use Legacy's for hunting, Blues for every thing else. I shot my deer last year with an Easton Blues. When it snapped in half I was only out $2.50

My stumpers are oak dowels from Lowe's.

So done with aluminum. They get out of alingnment so easy and roll on a glass tabletop like a grandma with a bad hip.Carbon has the ability to take a hit and stay straight like an NFL running back.

If the carbons chosen are of consistent spine, then the personal choice is most clear.

I've had excellent results with 2213's out of my 60lb. Palmer recurve. They shoot much better than the Gold Tip 55/70's that I shoot out of my 58 lb. Horn longbow.

Aluminum.
Nothing against carbon arrows but I have never had a reason to switch.

I shoot both, but I'm currently shooting aluminum. They just seem more forgiving of broadhead flight to me.
