Who still shoots aluminum arrows!
 

Just curious. Seems like everyone is using carbons.

I use them for deer because if they break off in a deer the shred and get little fibers everywhere

I jump back and forth. Right now I am shooting Aluminums again and plan on hunting with them this fall. Next year Iprobably will be shooting carbons.. who knows. Not sure why I do this but it keeps me happy. Wife and son give me a lot a grief about it. Heck notuncommon for me to change half way through hunting season. :eek: :D

I've got carbons for my new hunting compound (since it's a beast and the Al arrows would be the size of tree trunks) but for my older bows and all of my tradtional/non-compound bows I use aluminium.

I used aluminums last year for indoor spots shooting. I may shoot them again this year, or I may shoot the newer 30X pros.....not sure which.

I have three friends that still use there old school Easton's XX75's. Nothing wrong with them.. I have not seen anything wrong with them. I would probably still be using them but I got a dozen carbons for my birthday last year....

Switched back to carbon's this year. I love the old XX75's...nothing at all wrong with them.

The new carbon's I have are shooting really good though!!!

I prefer aluminum .
The only advantage I've seen with carbons is straightness and speed. I shoot a recurve so speed isn't a big factor for me , and those plastic vanes just get in the way , mine are feather fletched. I tend to get more fliers with the carbons that I've tried , and the cost is somewhat prohibitive .

I think Tonto still is....

I have had good luck with the XX75s so why change? I have
shot both deer and grouse with them. Also I find the lighter
arrows are harder for me to control.
