I shoot xx78 in 2314 and they work great so why change. My son shoots 2213, but my wife shoots carbons except for hunting, she's a 2013 shooter.

if you're accurate and happy with what you have, stick with it. isn't it funny how often cliches are completely true...IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.

Still shoot aluminum for most things. 2216's are at least as durable as any carbon I've ever shot and I get a lot better arrow for the money anyway - more consistent in spine and weight, and every arrow out of a dozen will shoot broadheads perfectly.Never gotmore than 3 out of a dozen carbons that'd shootbroadheads worth a hoot.I don't compete any more and I never shoot at game beyond 30 yards, so I don't needcarbon's speed.

I still shoot wood arrows a lot too, out of my traditional bows.

Do ACC's count as carbon? To me, they're an aluminum arrow with a couple wraps of carbon. I really, really like them,just can't shovel out that much cash for arrows.
