2216 XX75 Aluminum's for me. In the future I may switch over to wood arrows.

45/50 cedars and 2213 aluminum,45 /60 carbons..i shoot them all

carbons are the most durable of the 3,,aluminum,,,wood,,the other 2

I shoot Full Metal Jackets 400's. There carbon centers with aluminum outside cover. So I gessI shoot aluminum and carbon

2018 aluminum and POC

I'm going to try carbons again. I had some ABS Grizzly carbons that I pretty much refused to shoot in fear of missing the target and destrying them. I had six of them that I think wereover $100 all set up for 6. I ended up selling them.
I going to get some cosmetic blem carbons and try again though.

I shoot aluminums pretty much all the time, but I have also been shooting a lot of firs that seem to hit the target everytime for me. They are a bit heavier then POC.

I'm also experimenting stuffing my aluminums with braided rope for some extra weight. Seems to be working well.

LOL! I don't know which is worse... Having a bow that's sopretty you're afraid to take it hunting or arrows that are so expensive you're afraid to shoot them.

At least it's funny to me because I'm not suffering from either condition.

It did stink, and I hated it. I like to be able to fling an arrow 70 yards at a target and not think twice. [:@]

Those arrows just sat there doing nothing till I decided to sell them. I took about a $20 loss on them which was prabably less then messing up one arrow. Glad they're gone!

I bought 100 Port Orford Cedar shatfs and make up a dozen arrows every six months or so. They're kinda like shooting telephone poles off my longbow but I enjoy the time spent staining and painting them.

In my experience, that's debatable. If you're talking about thin walled aluminums, 2213's and such,pretty much yes. The thicker walled aluminums hold up just as well, if not better. I've got some 2018's and 2115's that have far out lasted the majority of carbons I've shot in the last 6 years.
