RE: Carbons not recommended for my bow?
While I personally like aluminum arrows you where fed a line of crap. The only reason older bows were suggested not to use carbon arrows was because of the weight. Normally carbons = lighter weight. Not the case anymore, you can get fairly heavy carbon arrows now. Not to mention all the vibration dampening devices like limbs savers and the such that you can put on your bow.
I do agree though I wouldn't be shooting a really light arrow out of an older bow they really were not designed to put up with that kind of abuse. Not that it will explode in your face or anything. There is an AMO minimum weight chart that tells you how light you can go with your draw weight and draw length. Some would be surprised at what is a safe weight if they have a shorter draw length.
