    Carbon; way more durable. I have shot many deer with a carbon and put it back in my quiver to hunt another day. That doesn't happen with aluminum. HCH

    I shoot Full Metal Jackets, so I put them under the A/C/C option...since they have both materials.

    Started with aluminum but when I saw how straight and fast those carbons can fly I switched to carbons.
    Been shooting carbons for over ten years now, I'll never go back.
