I shoot 2314 Easton XX75 Superlite Aluminums. I don't have any great desire to switch to Carbon arrows.

I shoot 2315 easton superslams on my hunting bow because they are heavier and i think they have a little more KE, but thats just me. But when i shoot inddor i like to shoot light carbon arrows for more speed and a flatter trajectory.

I used Beman 340's last year but that picture of the arrow in the hand changed my mind.I may try some ACC's,but not sure if that can happen to them also,If so i'll probably go with Tru-Flite Pro-Series Super Slam Selects

I too shoot Easton 2315 s.s
Have had no reason to switch when aluminum's have been working as they should and then some.
Have been shooting them 20 plus years and never had a problem with them unless I miss and hit what i'm not suppose to

I Shoot aluminums, 2216 from a fred bear compound & 2219's from a Martin. Very economical IMO as theres a few cheap aluminums you can buy for practice & save the more expensive ones for hunting. The cheapo aluminums are as straight as most carbons as well.

I personally like the durability of carbon. I can buy 1 dozen Easton Epics and they last as long as I don't do anything stupid like miss the target.[] Not that I would ever do that.[:-]

I shoot 2413 and am happy with them. Don't see the need to change (yet)

I like my carbons for the added speed and trajectory I get from my bow.That being said I also shot some 2315 ss out of my bow last year and they flew great.I was very happy how much more quiet my bow was as well.I think this year I will do some more experiementing and see what I come up with

Not trying to stir up the carbon shooters as I may try them sometime myself, but I'm not understanding the durability aspect of carbons over aluminum. Year before last I went to qualify to hunt public land and they had an area set up with 3D's to practice before you went to qualify. I had to wait for about 3 hours before I came up so I visited the practice area multiple times and I must have seen a dozen or more people bust up their carbons at the practice area. I'm sure aluminum would probably have broken or bent just as well but it sure didn't make me think the carbons were the way to go. Actually, I have been quite pleased with the durability of the aluminums. I number all of my arrows and can tell when one is not flying right. I have certainly busted some up but just the same I have shot some into plywood and trees that have not shown any ill effects.
