Carbon or Alum
 

Do you shoot carbon or alum for hunting, and why.

RE: Carbon or Alum
 

i havent gone bowhunting yet or bought a bow yet(but very soon:D) but from all the people i have talked to i think i am deffinatley buyin carbon. they tell me that they are lighter, stronger, and take more damage to them.

Carbon -speed and dont break as much as alum. so cost off sets alum.Cant aforde acc.

RE: Carbon or Alum
 

Carbon....they are either straight, or broke. Although I think a heavy thick walled aluminum may be good for larger game as it will carry some good energy.

I still shoot aluminums. Why, I guess because nobody can convince me other wise. I just prefer my aluminums and don' t feel I need to change.

Carbon
1 they don' t bend
2 they are stronger
3 carbon recovers quicker from the effects of the bow shooting it
4 an equal weight carbon will penetrate better than an aluminum

Carbon for me!!! I don' t think I' ll ever go back to aluminum again. First of all there is the increased accuracy from carbon, second the durability, it is either broke in half or just fine. In creased speed is another reason wich inturn results in some cases more kinetic energy. One thing I make sure of when huinting with carbon arrows is that I use an arrow with atleast 9 grains per inch weight, that way I know i' m getting enough kinetic energy out of my bow.

I use carbon arrows. Becuase they are a lil faster, and they wont bend or break as easy.

RE: Carbon or Alum
 

Carbon, b/c they' re a lot faster and very durable. They might cost a little more, but it' s well worth it.

Aluminum alloy! Has always been a good friend to me for many years.
