Default RE: attempting to decide carbon or alluminum

I started bowhunting 3 years ago, and for my first hunting season I used Easton 2213 having an arrow speed of 240f/s and the luck of getting a nice deer; last season (and with a little more experinece) I changed to Carbon, I tried BEMAN Field, BEMAN Hunter and EASTON Carbon Evolution with the intention of geting more speed but I couldn't make them fly as good as my 2213; so I started to use a faster Bow (Mathews Ultra2 instead of my MQ1) with 67# and 27Draw lenght and I change my xx75 2213 for xx78 2213 at 26.5", I put some carbon inserts and change from 125 to 100gr and from plastic vanes to 4" Feathers and WOW! I ended up with a 400gr Setup @ 284f/s and a Ke of 72.
So in the end I still shooting aluminum for hunting and having the speed and penetration I like.

good luck.
