I just some game tracker carbons today, switching from easton 2317's alluminum. I have to say there is give and take on both sides of this debate. the flight of the carbon is by far faster 30 fps for me to be exact, and a flatter shooting arrow. we know the weight is the real reason but if carbon is the type that gives you this low wieght, fast, flat flying arrow then that is why I went with it and those are the good things I have found thus far. Now for the bad,. my bow is a little louder, was a tad bit more difficult to get the groups tight but once I did thats where they stayed.

I figure it like this, If i can get that much more speed and still group up tight, then the slight more noise and bi annual bow adjustments are worth it. alluminums bend and need replacing more often , but strings replacement annually and bow adjustments annually with carbons.. all balances out to me..

I'll stay with the faster, flatter flyer.

one more thought,, the deer is going to hear any bow shoot, but the arrow getting there before he reacts is where speed plays the roll.
