Default Who's still shooting aluminum?

I was until today. Needed some more arrows so I went to the local archery shop to buy some xx78's shafts and fletch my own. The shop owner ask me why alum? I said, well, I always have and why change if I'm happy with the results? He takes me in the back and he had at least 25 L.H. recurves/compounds. I was in bow heaven. We got to talking shop and he let me shoot them as much as I wanted and he had me use some carbon arrows. Okay, I'm open minded. Geez, I was shooting 3" higher at 20 yrds using my set up. I was really happy with the fps that I was getting with the high carbons so I bought adozen with 4" vanes with 125 gr. f.p.s.The chronograph was down so I'm going to have to find out later my speed. I want to shoot some more today but my arm is sore from slinging so many arrows today.Just goes to show you, youcan teach an old dog new tricks.
