RE: Who's still shooting aluminum?
Intresting story Red.
Wolf, why did you switch back to alum.? Just curious.
Aurthur, I have made wooden arrows up here out of raw cedar, I'm hell at 25 yrds with them.
I couldn't handle it no more and shot again this eve. The groups are down to the size of a tennis ball at 20 yrds using a glove. So far so good.

I have and shoot both , but my primary hunting shafts are feather fletched aluminum . It's hard to improve upon a classic , and I have much greater confidence with them .

I shoot aluminum also. Thought about switching to carbon a year or so ago but decided that the price wasn't worth it to me. Aluminum arrows kill just as good as carbon arrows do and are less expensive to buy.

RE: Who's still shooting aluminum?
I shoot 2216's in one bow & 2219's in another. I have to mail order them tho but that dont bother me. I just dont wait till I need them NOW.
I'v learned to do most of my own work on my bows but when I went to the shop they tried selling me on carbons.
Maybe someday but not yet.
