That' s funny, I just went the OTHER WAY,aluminums to carbons.I do agree with you, speed is OVER RATED.I' m trying carbons because I' m tired of worrying about every little " bump and nudge" .Super Slam Selects are not CHEAP.Hate the idea of possible bending one every time I pull it out of a mckenzie.With carbons you just need a friend to help you PULL your arrow out of the mckenzie.Has to be the " lesser" of the two evils.[
