Default Best ALL aluminum arrow.....

As I've mentioned, I'm going to be shooting aluminums again this year. But I'll be honest and tell you I know know a heck of a lot about them, other than spine ratings and such.

EXCLUDING the ACC and all other aluminum/carbon composites, what is the BEST all aluminum hunting arrow? The XX78 SuperSlam?

The 78's are the best for hunting.

XX78's for sure. I've been kicking around the idea of returning to XX78's myself. I love those 2216's.

I see the 78's are .001 straight, and the 75's are .002......I know I said I want the best, but is that the only difference?
