Default RE: Need help selecting Easton alumunum arrow

Need to know exactly what poundage you shoot and your AMO draw length. I personally prefer aluminum arrows myself. Even the cheap ones are more consistant than most carbons right of the box.

Keep in mind if you change arrows you will have to re tune your bow. The change in arrow diameter will at least require you to change your nocking point. If this is not something you want to mess with I would stick with the arrows you have. And those 2117's (if that is the correct arrow for your bow) will be considerably heavier than your current carbons.

Also if you are going to shoot at turkeys and squirrels on the ground I would suggest sticking with a carbon anyway. That is thier one advantage, they are pretty tough. 2117's are a pretty hardy arrow because of the thick wall, but a carbon will probably fair better with that kind of work. Just remember to check them REALLY good after every shot for cracks damage. I would also rather have a lighter faster arrow for that kind of game as well. You really don't need the extra momentum a heavy arrow will give you.

I can't suggest anything without knowing the exact draw length and draw weight of your bow though.
