Wow! Lately some of these topics in this forum are great!!! I love it!

I started hunting with carbons after 24 years hunting with aluminum. I do use the heaviest carbon arrow I can in the Easton line that shoots well from my bow. My only reason for changing to carbon shafts back in 2001 was just to give them a try and see how durable they were, not for speed. My setup works well for me and I am not a speed freak. One thing to remember, a lighter arrow also slows down faster too, lessening impact at longer distances.

I will be staying with carbon for the time being because of my success so far with carbons, and manufacturers are making heavier and straighter carbon hunting arrows every year. If all carbons were still as light as they were a few years ago, this ole boy would still be shooting aluminums.
