I like the arrow dynamics nitro stinger tapered arrows myself, however most modern carbons work fine as long as they are not the bargain basement stuff. To get a quality carbon you have to be willing to spend the money. I have since switched to aluminums because for the same or less money you get better tolerances and quality control. I have not seen an arrow yet that will not break or bend if you abuse it. Never messed up an aluminum that would not have damaged a carbon as well.

And don't believe that crap about a carbon either being straight or broken. That is a myth and simply not true. Carbon can and will go bad, they will warp and loose spine. Heck some are not that great right of the box.

Another thing to consider with aluminums is the size you are shooting. If you are shooting the lighter arrows with thin walls they are easier to ding and bend. However the thicker arrows are a bit more tough, they just weigh more.
