I started out with graphflex arrows then i used easton aluminum for 10 years with good success . then I got the bug to try carbon arrows they were browning xt (goldtip xt) and I have had those for at least 10 years with thousands of shots and many kills i started with 1 dozen i have managed to retain 5 of those still I am now shooting them out of my new Mathews Hyperlite , I have never gotten that kind of dependablity out of aluminum , some of those Arrow have been shot through over a dozen deer and other than refletching are like new still. Awesome:happy0157:

Aluminum/carbon.

we've come a long way baby , years ago carbon was junk , very inconsistent . aluminum was king , still aluminum is a good shaft , and carbons finally got consistent . i shoot axis fmj myself and plain axis for a lite arrow

Both. It's hard to beat the price if a dozen aluminums. I get my Eclipse X-7 2613's for less than 60$ a dozen. Glue in some 225gr points, slap on 3-4" shield cut feathers and I'm good to go for any indoor known distance shoot in the world;)

Rare indeed is the modern archer who shoots aluminium. Most stats have the carbon shafts eating up 90% or more of the arrow market.
However, it's extremely hard to find an arrow as straight as a top shelf aluminium shaft like a XX78 . Easton FMJ's :party0005: |
Nothing wrong with carbon
but I restarted with aluminum arrows and will probably stay with them.
Have no interest in faster than faster arrows. I know aluminum and fletching my own arrows is down pat. The arrows have always been accurate and they've given me long wear. Accurate and relatively less expensive than some. I scouted and I dropped the carbon idea like a hot rock in a Georgia August. I always used uncut arrows and cut them one size for practice and another for hunting. With the aluminum arrows, I used an inexpensive hack saw. For the carbon arrows, industry had moved on to high speed arrow cutting, expensive, saw. At the time, that ended the carbon saw study immediately. Not about to give up my hand hack saws!!! But in the meantime, if I ever go to carbons, I'll cut them myself, now I had a special saw used to cut tile for home jobs, and I found that it would work excellently with carbon. I do hate to spend money for no good reason. |
my only question is what do the numbers mean on arrows?
2275, 2315, etc...??? |
The one major thing that I noticed when I switched from alum to carbon is how much flatter they shoot.
My 10 yd pin works out to 30yds for me for the carbons. |
