Do you shoot carbon or aluminum arrows? Why? Do you have good reasons why one is better than the other?
Carbon only. Aluminum arrows are not durable. You slap arrows and it costs you. Carbon is good as long as you can still flex it. Aluminum gets bent and overall not a long lasting arrow.
Lol ^^^ I've shot both. I now shoot 400 FMJ's but will again shoot aluminums. There's not much difference In durability with these then my 2216 XX75's.
Yeah saying Aluminums aren't durable is silly. They bend, but on the other hand they won't splinter where you can't see and risk exploding upon the next shot. I shoot both, literally. Easton FMJs, carbon interior for the rigidity against bending, aluminum sheath on the outside to prevent carbon splintering and make the arrow more durable. I also really like the heavier GPI offered with FMJs too. I honestly don't see how arrow makers can improve upon this design.
Both! I shoot aluminum, 2413's out of my 82nd, carbons out another and ACC's (Aluminum/Carbon) out of my 340 Destroyer, 350 Destroyer and Invasion... haven't decided what to shoot out of my Diamond Deadeye.
Ive been shooting aluminum arrows for 10 years, since I was 5.. Never had one break.. Ive had them bend while I was being stupid but never break..
Carbon arrows. i feel they fly a lot better than aluminum and they are also a lot stronger. They don't break as much and also give you more penitration
I shoot 2413 and 2213 aluminum arrows. I have been shooting the same 3-4 practice aluminum arrows for many months now and they have held up just fine. I have beaten the heck out of them and they shoot the same as they did on day one.
I never missed anything because I unwittingly shot a bent carbon arrow at it... can't say the same about aluminums.
I shoot carbons only. I found out I still have use for my dad's bent up aluminum ones. They make a great arrow detector raking the ground with one when I really miss the target and bury an arrow in the ground.
