I know, Len, carbon has some supposed advantages over aluminum but, frankly, most of those 'advantages' are subjective. Matter of personal preference. When it comes to spending my money,I can't hardly bring myself to spend a whopping sum on some of the 'better' carbon arrows when I can get very good, dependablealuminum arrows that yieldpractically 100% broadhead-capable arrows pernumbers boughtfor the same price as the cheapo carbons.. which have provided a yield percentage of practically zero for me.

By the way... I was watching Monday Night Football tonight while working some heavily used, five-year-old 2315's through my arrow straightener. I'mtalkingHEAVILY used.... to the point wherethe anodize has worn off down to bare metal on the first few inches of each shaft!Most were straight within +/- .001. A few were tweaked out to +/- .005. Two were visibly bent, one +/- .013 and the other +/- .022. ALL my 2315's, even the bent ones,are now within +/- .001.

I don't care how much you spend on carbons, you can't straighten 'em back to factory tolerances or better once they're crooked. Advantage aluminum.
