I recently watched the George Ryals video where he demonstrated how tostraighten aluminum arrows. So I got a straightener and set up to get all of my indoor X7 2613's back in shape after two years of league.

What a waist of time! They were all still straight. Even after rattleing around in the back of my van for two league seasons, I couldn't find one that would benifit from anything that I could do.

Also, after reading the Ashby research, I began looking into heavier arrows for hunting. It looks like the best options for my set up will be aluminums. The light weight and speed that we thought was an advantage of carbon arrows, is now beginning to look like a disadvantage.

I'm giving serious consideration to going all aluminum except for 3D where the speed of carbon arrowsis a real advantage.
