RE: Carbon shaft inside aluminum?
No I havent heard of this but it does sound intriging.
What I have heard of and saw was 2 different aluminums inside one another to make a much heaverier arrow to go after some big game, I'm talking some serious big game.
However I'll talk to the pro shop that I saw this in and ask his opinion and see if this would be cost effective to do this and as why one would want to do this other then big game hunting or shooting a unheard of weight.
Good Shooting

RE: Carbon shaft inside aluminum?
edge, I saved an article from some mag where a guy named Steve Kobrine went to africa and hunted the "big five" with a bow - leopord, lion, elephant, white rhino, and cape buffalo, he also arrowed a hippo and a crocodile. He used a specially built bow consisting of a browning riser and 97 pound limbs, his arrows were built by inserting a Beman 90/110 carbon shaft into an easton 1816 aluminum shaft for a total weight of 800 grains with broadhead and that setup was shooting 265fps! I can't imagine that KE figure. oh yeah, the article stated that the elephant only went 47 yards after his one shot to the heart!
