whats the advantage of A/c arrows...is it a consistancy thing???? not to sure but i think the ideais to to take the good things from bothmaterialsand put it into one arrow right???....wich is a cool idea!!!but it seems to me like it nulls what makes a carbon arrow great by itself and nulls what makes an aluminium arrow great by itself...thus creating a "redheaded stepchild" that im not to sure will ever completely catch on.

i shot carbon last year for the first time all season and hated them. i think it was because they were cheap carbons called "Carbon Storm" couldnt get the dang things to shoot consistant noticableincrease in speed tho.
i shoot my alums better than ill ever shoot those....i just cant see myself paying $10+ an arrow for decent carbons

the only disadvatagethe Superslams have vs Carbon(in my eyes)would be the heavier weight wich isnt a disadvatage depending on how you see things .

You pay that price, they never bend. They will outlast aluminums by a long shot. To me that makes them worth it. JMO

i had my last dozen aluminums for 5 years and they were gamegetters i still had 9 perfect arrows when i switched to carbons(aluminums are plenty durable as long as your not shooting at a Hedge Tree or an engine block)....i switched arrows becausebecause i strartedshooting alot again and went from 50lbsto 60 pounds and alot higher performaance newer/faster bowso i needed a stiffer arrow and thought id see what carbons were all about....honestly i didnt really like them compared to aluminium maybee im stubborn maybee i like what im used to.

your right they dont bend...but as seen in the pic they break...ouch

You cant compare all carbon arrows to a set of crappy cheap ones that you bought.

Just bought a 12 pack of cx maxima 350 love the shaft protectors on the ned save me some money.
