Default Nothing wrong with carbon

but I restarted with aluminum arrows and will probably stay with them.

Have no interest in faster than faster arrows.
I know aluminum and fletching my own arrows is down pat.
The arrows have always been accurate and they've given me long wear.
Accurate and relatively less expensive than some.
I scouted and I dropped the carbon idea like a hot rock in a Georgia August. I always used uncut arrows and cut them one size for practice and another for hunting. With the aluminum arrows, I used an inexpensive hack saw. For the carbon arrows, industry had moved on to high speed arrow cutting, expensive, saw.

At the time, that ended the carbon saw study immediately. Not about to give up my hand hack saws!!!

But in the meantime, if I ever go to carbons, I'll cut them myself, now I had a special saw used to cut tile for home jobs, and I found that it would work excellently with carbon.

I do hate to spend money for no good reason.
