Im in the same situation your in. I got a new bow here recently, a slightly older PSE Baby G, so Im settin it up now. I have shot alum. since I started and have heard all positives on carbons except the whole, if they break in the animal, that whole area will have carbon splinters imbedded in it and will need to be thrown out, as opposed to alum. where if they break in an animal they break and thats the end of it.
Ill be interested to see everyones opinion on here, this is gonna definately help me decide
