Default RE: Carbon vs aluminum arrows

ORIGINAL: bowdoc1

liquidorange Yes I have shot fiberglass arrow back in the 60s They shot well out of my 65lb recurve, but didn't shoot good out of a compounds. I have shot microfight, gorden glass and herter glass arrows and I like them for hunting, they did split on the ends when you hit something hard and where heavy. There was no oscilation, so they where quieter out of the bow and retained more energy than aluminum
Actually there is alot of oscilation in fiberglass. Its an excellent conductor of vibration and underdamped frequency response. Carbon, not so much so.

You can still find those arrows for sale on some trad sites.
