Default The fading sunset

Yes the sun is setting on aluminum arrows. At least the ones I use to use, and still do.

Just bought some on sale. The internet retailers are starting to move it; like one moves discontinued stock.

I'll think about carbon arrows, when I'm down to my last three aluminum arrows and nothing is available, even on ebay.

I Love Carbon arrows and that's what I use 90 plus% of the time, but I think Aluminums are around for quite a while yet.

I used aluminum arrows on one of my Turkey kills this year!

I agree w/ MeanV I think they are going to be around for awhile.. Valentine as long as there are guys like you that are so loyal to the aluminum someone will produce them...IMO

You will still be able to find aluminum arrows but there is nothing wrong with carbon arrows. I also used an aluminum arrow for my turkey this year as well.

I'm an ACC guy. All carbon has its advantages and disadvantages. All aluminum does as well. I really got away from my old Easton 2213 XX75's b/c the bent so dang easy.
