Shooting aluminums from any bow shooting broadheads over 250fps (ESPECIALLY those doing over 265) is like running buckshots on a Ferrari.

Man trust me, I fought the trend for years. Even being in the business I was "ignorantly stubborn" about making "the big switch". The last deer I killed with XX75s was a P&Y 8ptr in MO in 02,I told mybuddies on the hunt "You can't believe I am still shooting aluminums? Look in the bed of my truck!!!" But when I took my Hoyt out the next year and went too Gold Tips WOW what I was missing. My old Hoyt Deviator Carbonite still throws GT 55/75s with Rocket 100 (fixed) 281fps. I could now shoot one pin too 30 yds and the arrows were basically indestructible. Imagine dressing Christie Brinkley in grandmas underpants and a flannel gown!!! []

I never even considered aluminums lastyear when my state legalized Xbows and I bought a TenPoint TL4. It came with a few alloys but I quickly replaced them with graphites from Horton! Of the hundreds of dozens of arrows and bolts we sold lastyear I can count on two hands the number of dozens of aluminums we sold.

Though I use 250fps as the threshold (there are still ALOT of 10-20 year old bows still in use today) I really recommend them for ANY bowhunter. The same attributes that make them great for fast bows likewise makes them just as great for ANY bow. You just gotta makesure your bow can handle them, some old bows will be basically "dry firing" if you used such light arrows on them.

Good luck,
