What would be a cheaper alternative to a 3-49/390 ACC shaft, shooting wise? Still want to shoot the ACCs but just looking for something cheaper that I can abuse and not feel like I'm waisting $13+ an arrow, without having to re-tune the bow.

So, you want to shoot ACC's, but don't want to pay for them? Can't have the best of both worlds in this case. If you want to shoot ACC's, you gotta pay for them.

Gold Tip makes a carbon aluminum arrow, and I do think they are a bit less expensive, but not whole lot....

Clarification: I will still pay for and shoot ACCsbecause I shoot a high performance bow and want a high performance arrow. I would like a cheaper arrow to shoot though, for when I want to fool around shoot. Stumps, groups, distance, anytime arrow destruction may be involved. Would like to be able to shoot both with minimal or no re-tuning involved.

Thanks, John

I don't know if your going to be able to find a carbon/alum. arrow that is cheap enough to take stump shooting.

Gold tip CAA's are around $95/dozen for shafts only.

I don't know of any else out there...

Yeah, thats what I was afraid of. I might just try a aluminum to screw around with for ****s and giggles.
