I shoot carbons out of all my bows. Alluminium arrows are just to fragile. A bump a bang and a ding and you have to throw them out. I went with the over the counter Easton carbon bolts over the alluminium without a second thought. Same price too. I shoot alot of arrows with judo points at plastic bottles sprinkled over the back yard andthe carbons last for that kind of shooting. Its great practice too..
