I've never switched away. Have shot 2117s, 2216, 2219 and now shoot 2315's. Fast enough and nice an heavy for pushing through everything. I always bust my carbon shooting friends when they lose or shatter a $5 arrow. Of course they bust me for shooting all those bent practice arrows!

Aluminums haven't let me down yet so I haven't had a real reason to change.

I set up my bow with aluminums and they have yet to let me down. Why would I switch? Besides that, damaged arrows can be cut down and used for bolts on a crossbow....

I've been shooting Easton aluminum's since 1978 when i started bowhunting,never been let down yet ! So i see no reason to change,have had great succes and no failures do to the arrow, and i have not seen anything convincing to change to carbons IMO..
Have Fun
