RE: aluminum or carbon
 
I too shot aluminum all the time then I got some ACC's, and I am very impressed. the thing that convined me was the plywood test. I missed my 3D turkey practicing at fifty yards and hit the plywood at an angle had tap it out with a hammer but it is still straight, try that with aluminum.

I shoot carbons now and I don't think I will ever go back to alluminum.

I realy like them both. each has atvantages, but if I were to choose one over the other, I think I would go with carbon.

I just made the jump from aluminum to carbon Im very pleased. Carbons have been more forgiving as far as shaft selection, one size seems to cover a lot broader range of bow weight and broad head size. Any one that shots carbons will tell you a carbon arrow is either straight or broken. As far as useing them for hunting ask arround about broadhead selection they are lighter and that does need consideration when useing them for hunting. Id go buy a couple and try them out before diving in, worked for me..........good luck with it ,, hill

I shot aluminum for years, and just bought some carbons to try. I love 'em. Seem to be faster, more penetration, and seem to be more forgiving than aluminum.

I searched for a non-bendable alternative to the ACC 3-49 I shot for years.I have found everything I was looking for in the CX 3D Select.They are straighter,weight tolerances are tighter and they will never bend.Give 'em a try and you'll never look back

I've heard alot of good things about carbon. I've never tried them yet, but plan to make the switch. You just need to be careful when heating these arrows. You can do it (I've been told) just not a lot of heat. Another option may be to use press-fit nocks (no glue). Hope this helps. Good luck.

I've shot alluminum all my life and went to carbon this year, and like them a lot.

I use 5575 goldtip XT's with feather vains
have lock nocks on them and 100 grain 3 blade muzzy's for hunting
the only draw back I have found with them is on targets they tend to stick so a bit of advice put some car polish on them before target shooting it makes them a lot easier to get out
