carbon!!! more durable and faster... I am thing about Full Metal Jacket. My buddy shoots them. Adds penetration to Carbon, plus they are easier to re-fletch.

Nothing to debate!  There is nothing positive IMO about aluminum when next to carbon.

Carbon all the way, like mentioned before if its bent its broke. Good luck damaging one, while shooting at your target. I had alum. and would crash one about every other time I shot, hasnt happend since going to carbon.

did not mean to offend you... welcome to the world of bow hunting, it is much more rewarding then gun hunting...
to answer you question the carbon is a much better arrow... keep up the practice!

I shoot aluminum. Carbon arrows are for girls.

That's funny!
I am the TCH BigBow was referring to in an earlier post. We are puting together a bow shoot...walking/riding course. Maybe some hog hunting in the evening. You guys that are new to the sport should attend. There will be some advanced shooters and hunters and some not so advanced. There will be a couple guys there that will be able to work on your bows and help you out with anything you may need from accessories to form. Will be a blast. PM me for details. We have room for just a couple/few more if we get some campers out there in addition to the cabin.
