Default biscuit - aluminum to carbon

Due to my recent arrow issues, I was wondering if it would be possible to use the same biscuit I used for 2315s aluminum for some Gold Tip carbons in 7595 without accuracy degradation. Will the bigger hole hurt me.

Any thoughts?

I have never shot the WB before. However, I know they make a model for Aluminum arrows as well as one for Carbon arrows, so that make be think there would be a difference.

It is not supposed to be a tight fit around your arrow anyway. So, if you are going from an arrow with a small space around the shaft to a larger space i would guess there would be no reason you can't use the same WB.
I went from a regular diameter carbon to the new slim carbon and saw no degredation of accuracy

IDK, but if your really worried about it you could probably just change the biskit out for acarbon one and that would only be less than like $15

I'd be afraid of the arrow sliding along on the bottom of the biscuit's hole until the fletchings hit the whiskers. I'd think that with the resistance they meet the arrow would then try to center itself in the hole. If there's too much movement it could make tuning harder. Or not, try it and let us know what happens.

in actuallity you should be using the large hold biscuit with your aluminums and a medium hole one for your carbons. there should be a very small gap at the top of the hole the arrow goes through.
