Carbons don't leave no impresion on me and i don't see the need for them. My aluminums work great for me so I see no need for change.I am not into speed unless i'm racing

RE: Who's still shooting aluminum?
It is my understanding that, though carbons are faster, aluminums have better penetration. This is because they're heavier. Carbons only get their faster. I personally would rather have the penetration than the speed. I had carbons and aluminums, and my preference lies with aluminums. I will shoot them this season.

RE: Who's still shooting aluminum?
I know everyone likes what they like but i went from aluminum to the terminator carbons and I have put arrows through everything i've shot. to include numerouse pigs, i was shooting an old whitetail extreame and needed to add a couple fps and the carbons did it for me. I have to say i am totally pro carbon.

Since my draw is a bit longer than the average bear, I shoot full length 2514 Easton's, but I love them! Any other arrow tends to flex too much at that length so I am happy with my "fenceposts" as my carbon-loving friends call them. And, if I miss with the bow, my arrows are more than strong enough just to beat the deer with!

ME!!!! [:@]And I have no intention of changing to carbon or carbon wannabes. Unless they stop making aluminums . . . HEAVEN FORBID!
A nick in a carbon and it should be replaced or you might pick carbon splinters out of your body. Go to any 3-D shoot and check every target. You willfind countless pieces of carbon and carbon wannabees all over the place . . . but few if any pieces of aluminum.
I am still shooting XX-75's that are more than 15 to 20 years old. My deer last year was taken with one of my antiques . . . and it is still in my quiver and still spins perfectly and blows through deer and this year, I am hoping elk as well.
WHY WOULD I CHANGE????
