Default Ten Point Titan Crossbow - Carbon vs. Aluminum Bolts

I read the poston similartopic and I apologize for any duplications.

My Ten Point Titan Crossbow came with three aluminum Easton 2219/XX75 bolts. They took a beating this weekend. I took a doe on Saturday and she rolled over one of them rendering it useless. The second bolt hit a soft spot on my target bag and the fletching ripped. I am left with one remaining bolt. I was planning to purchase carbon (recommended 22/64), but want to wait until season is over. Now that I only have on functional bolt, should I make the change now? A few questions:

1) If I change now, will the flight path change significantly (like changing a bullet?) and need to re-zero. I‘d hate to do this in the middle of archery season and have to spend time zeroing ion the bow.

2)Is Carbon seemsto be twice the price - is it worth it?

3) I checked www.bowhunterssuperstore.com and could not fine the carbon bolts that Ten point recommends. Any other retail recommendations?

4) Does Aluminum offer better penetration than carbon?
