One thing I can say other then what Art has already said about aluminums is that when I shoot the long shots at the range (and I love doing this), I don't have the little voice saying "If you miss youcould be out $10". It drives me crazy because I am setting myself up for failure before I even shoot. I couldn't bring myself to taking these shots with carbons. With the aluminums, I don't think twice.

Too bad Easton stopped making the regular game getters (the green ones). They were always my favorite choice.I'm using Easton Legacy now.

Sold all my tapered carbons earlier this year.
