Default am I the last one shooting aluminum???

Tried to find arrows today... everyone of the bow shops are out and only will special order them. Sportsmans wearhouse had 2 boxs of the gamegetters the new black ones in size 340 and 400 whatever that is.
are carbons that much more popular? yea they are faster and shoot flatter but I like the weight to drive the broadhead through. sorry just venting dont like to have to order my arrows through the mail.

Perhaps since the only thing left is carbon, everyone else is shooting al.

I was going back to Al but was talked into the Full Metal Jackets. This year has been awesome. I've lost one arrow to hunting and have resued 3 arrows with two having two kills each.

Aluminum here too. I like the weight. Besides nothing I've killed seems to care one way or the other. Hey if your shooting aluminums out of a non parallel limb bow is it considered traditional archery yet? lol
