    Definitely carbon! Aluminum bends/breaks too easily. There all kinds of manufacturers to choose from but carbon is where its at. :)

    What bow are you shooting them with?

    Draw weight and length?

    I'd go carbon.

    I am going to be purchasing the Cabelas Stalker Extreme soon, and using them as my practice arrows. Great price and lots of people give them great reviews. It might be a good place for you to start, as you learn more then upgrade.

    What's your desired finished arrow weight? What heads will you be shooting?

    I personally have had good luck with ACCs. They're a bit pricey, but they are durable, straight, and have some of the tightest spine tolerances (or so I've been told;) ).

    A 3-49/390 should be a good starting point based off your specs listed so far (assuming a 28" arrow length, and a 100gr point).
