Default Aluminum Shafts ?

You know how guys started thinking differantly about thier old aluminum shafts,AFTER Gold Tip released that slow mo of the carbon and aluminum comparison.Everybody was too sure that aluminums flexed WAY TOO MUCH to be considered a good arrow.All that vibration going on " in flight" and after impact.
After watching that tape a half dozen times I could' nt help but think," how am I getting a bullet hole through paper with these things" ,,???.
That slow mo makes it look like an aluminum arrow could only rip a hole the size of a GOLF BALL,,nothing smaller.
What do you guys think ???.....The reason I ask,,I' m thinking of going BACK to them after this years season is over.I don' t think I' m a carbon guy.I tryied switching to a Wisker B with carbons this year,because EVERYBODY else is,,,but,,I don' t seem to be as consistant out of my tree stand,as I was.On the level ground I' m shooting good,but up in my stand,,where it REALLY counts,,I' m not getting what I wan' t.Yes,,it could be me,but I don' t have the time to fiddle with it,,so I' m thinking back to the aluminum logs.I know I sure won' t miss pulling those Bemans out of my Mckenzies.Even with a gorila gripper I almost ripped my deltiods from the bone.DAMN !!!!.
I' m thinkin,,next season,,new bow and some " old school" projectiles.A real hard hitter,like 2219' s with feathers.Slow and in CONTROL.Great for those" buck fever" shakein in my boots,,punchin the trigger shots
