Default RE: Aluminums???

Hi,
My name is Bob and I'm an Arrow-aholic.[] I've got a dozen XX75 arrows that I've been shooting for almost 25 years. A couple of them have small bends in them, one has the nock end blown out from a robin hood. I've also got about three or four dozen carbon arrows.

The thing I'm finding about the carbons is that they will warp(?) or bend while in storage? I store them in Plano Arrow boxes to prevent just such a thing from happening.

Like many of you, I've made my own target...a carboard press...and I shoot a lot, so I use my old aluminums. Can't pull a carbon out of the stuff.[:@] Anyway, I've noticed that the aluminum arrows are a lot straighter and seem to fly better. Since I'm more concerned with sound and arrow flight than I am of speed, I'm considering going back to Aluminums for everything. Although I might try some A/C/C's or Kinetics first. Like I said in the begining and in my by line. I'm an arrow-aholic.

Hell, I like them all!
