RE: aluminum or carbon
Good post NorthJeff,
I have had the same problems that you talked about using carbons and fixed blades. I have a 33" draw and will not use an overdraw, so my arrows are about 33". I called GameTrqacker to get the proper arrow for me and they suggested their 3-d 400's. The only fixed broadhead that I could get a decent tune on were 75 grain Muzzy's. The arrow flew pretty well, however it seemed just too light for me.
