2117 have a thick wall and are very durable.(maybe not as durable as a GOOD carbon)I have not been impressed with that arrow in the past.It seems like it never shoots as well as other arrows of the same spine.

On the other hand,the 2216's seem to shoot well no matter what.


I don't know if others have seen this or not.


I would think a lighter aluminum would be a great choice for turkeys.Cheap with great tolerances.They won't penetrate as well and should stop in the bird.
