I'll give you 4, 5 and 6, the rest is all crap and hype. And they don't mention anything about carbons being more dangerous to shoot. They are not indistructable and they are actually harder to tell when something is wrong. If you suspect you have damgaed one you should quit using it. I have used pretty messed up aluminums and had no trouble with them. They don't always shoot that well, but they won't explode and stick half an arrow through my hand either.

I will admit this is a pretty rare thing though.

Every time I have ruined an aluminum it would have did a carbon in as well. And the thicker aluminums are actually pretty tough. I shoot 2213's, if I shot something in a 16 series they would be more durable yet. The one advantage I have seen with carbons is if you glance them off something. Like if you miss and hit the side of the target. This will normally bend an aluminum but a carbon will be ok. Providing it doesn't glance off something hard. I can't tell you how many carbons I broke in half when I first started shooting and later playing at longer ranges.

And there is no freakin way carbons are easier to build. I can build and redo aluminums with a tubing cutter, gas range and a pair of pliers.
