I've got dibs on O2bhuntin's carbon shaft market share. I have shot both and I really like the GT xts over the alumiums. I have shot the gametrackers but they seemed heavier. Gold Tip is my arrow.

Pdq, my brother-in-law uses them. One of the local shops got fed up with GT's last year(terrible factory fletching) and stopped carrying them half way thru the year and picked up the Blackhawks. My bro-in-law loves them and hasn't had the first problem with them. He picked up a little speed over the Terminators he was using because they are lighter. They are as smooth and quiet as the new-finish GT's as far as I could tell. I've used the Terminators, and really liked them. My bow seemed to really like them, too.

Carbon Express 3D Selects for me. Everything I could possibly ever want in a hunting shaft.I'll never look back at alum.

For hunting purposes, you can't beat carbons. They are stronger (last longer), faster (better when judging distances), and have less flex (therefore, they penetrate better). The advantage of carbons in a hunting situation is so great, I can't imagine using anything else.

I used aluminums exclusively until I went and bought a couple Blackhawks just to experiment with, Now Im useing carbons. They seem to be a lot easier to dail in at least they were for me good luck any way........hill

Thanks Cmndr. I may get some to try.

I started bowhunting 3 years ago, and for my first hunting season I used Easton 2213 having an arrow speed of 240f/s and the luck of getting a nice deer; last season (and with a little more experinece) I changed to Carbon, I tried BEMAN Field, BEMAN Hunter and EASTON Carbon Evolution with the intention of geting more speed but I couldn't make them fly as good as my 2213; so I started to use a faster Bow (Mathews Ultra2 instead of my MQ1) with 67# and 27Draw lenght and I change my xx75 2213 for xx78 2213 at 26.5", I put some carbon inserts and change from 125 to 100gr and from plastic vanes to 4" Feathers and WOW! I ended up with a 400gr Setup @ 284f/s and a Ke of 72.
So in the end I still shooting aluminum for hunting and having the speed and penetration I like.

good luck.
