RE: What to go with: Aluminum or Carbons?
I don't shoot leagues, just hunt so I really don't need a superfast setup just high KE. I did switch to carbons last year and it was much,much harder to paper tune the carbons than the aluminums. I was much more accurate with the alums than I am with the carbons. The alums are wider than my carbons so my rest was more stable and vane clearance was not an issue that I had to resolve.
The next time I buy new arrows I will get alums.
