Default RE: Going from aluminum to carbon

I kinda switched over to carbons just to give them a try. sofar Im liking the carbons but not sure yet if I like them better then good ole' aluminum.

I do know one thing for sure, I will keep shooting aluminums with my recurves and target bows. something I did notice with aluminums over carbons, aluminums are much more consistant in straightness and weight then even the best carbons. carbons straightness can vary a ton asmuch .008" according to my arrow straightness gauging tool and also can vary asmuch as 3 grains in shaft weight IMO the quality control is kinda sloppy unless its just difficult during manufacture to be more consistant. even my cheapest aluminums (xx75 game getters) they are a ton more consistant from shaft to shaft the straightness is within .002" and are within .5 grain with weight.
