RE: Aluminums???
IF you have tow arrows one aluminum and one carbon both of equal weight it can be assumed that teh carbon will penetrate better. The Carbon has less occilation and a higher rate of kinetic energy retention. So that said it will pack a harder punch and have superior penetration.
Note the arrows are of equal weight.
Im not a physics major or anything but this much seems clear to me. Correct me if im wrong.
