    Went to the Baltimore Trad Classic yesterday. Shot with a bunch of people, and I think I am starting to be the only guy shooting aluminums these days. Lots of FMJ, and carbon cedar look alikes.

    BC, I will be joining you this year with the aluminums. Good quality, good weight, and good price.

    I've been shooting aluminums for the past couple of years. There just so much easier to tune than carbons or wood. Still fling the carbons occassionally while stumping but all my hunting and 3D's are with good old Easton's

    I'm hoping to make Sawmill. It's a great shoot and I'm really itching to get on a course or two

    I tried carbons for a few years. I have gone back to alluminum. Its such a pain in the butt to get carbon heavy enough.
