Default RE: Is there an argument for banning carbons for hunting?

ORIGINAL: rybohunter

I can'r believe this is even a discussion.

I've seen one arrow in 20+ years of hunting that was stuck in a deer. It was an aluminum and it was back along the deers spine as if it was shot facing striaght away. again....HORRIBLE shot choice, nothing to do with arrow material.
I just don't think that aluminum arrows fly as true as carbons do and like a few are saying on here, I do not really see the problem that the thread starter is initiating. Is aluminum a heavier arrow? Sure. Does it necessarily mean that it hits with more KE? I cannot make that statement. Just because it is heavier does it hit harder than a more durable material like carbon? I do not know.

Sorry if I ruffled the feathers of some of the more experienced hunters on here.
