I started shooting a Bow when it was only long Bows & recurves & 99% wood arrows. Then Forgewood & then Fiberglass & then Easton Aluminum. Aluminum has always given me the best for performance, straightness & durability. I even tried Carbons 2 years but went back to Aluminum.

I no longer shoot traditional BUT am going on a Antelope Bowhunt this fall-I will be trying for a Buck with my compound BUT i have a 1975 Carroll, 60# takedown I will have in the blind with me. IF a Doe shows up, I will be Barebow, Bare fingers & a wood shaft just for old time sake. I have taken 38 animals that way in the past & hoping to take 2 more to even it out at 40. Hopefully an Antelope & a Deer this fall .

Aluminum "in MY opinion" is the best shaft available all around.
