Aluminum died a decade ago.....I've yet to hear a decent reason to shoot aluminum arrows......still haven't please enlighten me if one exists.....

and hitting an animal with a baseball bat may be great, but if the animal, ie deer, is no longer there once you swing, little good that bat does you.....

heavier/slower, just gives the deer more time to "jump" the string, and more time, especially at 30 or 40yds, means more wounded, more missed....etc....

Carbon does everything well if not great. They penetrate, don't bend.....fly straight, are light, I saw a guy last year in the field shooint aluminum! I just about started to laugh. and he was young! ie under 40.....so grandfathered in to aluminum excuse wasn't going to cut it. To each their own, but to me so far the score is 6 to nothing.
