aluminums just aren't as efficient for killing game as carbons are.
X2, Last time I checked aluminums are quite a bit more heavy than carbons. On the KE chart, a heavy arrow will beat out pure speed all the time. What I like is to have both a heavy arrow moving fast,its the best of both worlds and the KE numbers are off the chart.
I'll try this again.I couldn't agree more with this. I shoot a 501gr arrow (XX75) at 250fps (slow by todays standards) out of my 50#/60# (maxed at 63#) Vectrix XL 30", and get 69 1/2 ft/lbs of KE. That's what kills, big time!!Nuff said.
