kidd Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 i know that this subject has come up before but never took notice till now i am looking to make the switch over to carbon arrows from aluminum arrows. i presently shoot easton 2315 and really like them but i would like to add some speed to my bow without "cranking up" the bow. just wanted to know what others are using and see what would work for me thanks kidd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bowhunter56 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: carbon vs. aluminum i just switched, bought the inexpensive Vapors, by blackhawk, and i am happy with them, they are fast, i only needed to make a slight sight adjustment. I bought the cheaper ones, to see if i liked carbon, i will probably stay with them, although they only come in black, i will probably not go back to aluminum.

mitrrophybowhunter Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: carbon vs. aluminum defienetly the GOLDTIPS. I love em......have shot them for three years ever since I bought my Mathews. I will never go back to aluminum. I had a beautiful 8 point under me shot my alum. arrow and it dove right under him.....needless to say it was bent. Man i was kicking myself for ever over that one. It just takes one more thing to worry back out of the equation when the opputurity comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntn4bucks Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: carbon vs. aluminum The main reason I switch from aluminum to carbon arrows was because it was getting harder and harder to find proshops that sold aluminum arrows. I switched to Beman ICS Hunter carbon arrows this season and I guess they're okay. Most of my shots are within 20 yards so speed is not a huge factor for me. JMO.

TreeStandBowHunter Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: carbon vs. aluminum I use Carbon Express and have done very well with them. But as others have said, pretty much any carbon arrow will do better than an aluminum. Carbons are more forgiving! Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLH Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: carbon vs. aluminum Carbon is great especially if you shoot a lower draw weight. Aluminum may be a little more accurate for very heavy draw weights because carbon tends to bend a little when shot with heavy draw weights.
