Price Value Quality After seeing what a carbon arrow does to a guy's arm when it blows up in a bow, I thought I might reconsider shooting aluminum again.
I got some old Easton XX75 Gamegetter aluminum arrows from a friend and shot them with my carbon arrows. I shoot an Archery Research Velocity bow at 63lbs and 29" draw. With this setup my carbon arrows have been clocked at 290fps.
At 20 yards, all arrows were hitting the same. At 40 yards, the aluminum were 1" low. At 60 they were 3" low.
I then put 85gr points in the aluminum and left 100gr points in the carbon. I couldn't see a difference up to 30 yards, and the aluminum were about 1" low at 60yds. So, if you want aluminum arrows to shoot like your carbon, just take a little weight off the points.
The best part - when I hit an aluminum arrow with a subsequent shot, it didn't shoot straight, but it was safe to shoot.
The second best part - really good aluminum arrows cost less than the junk quality carbon arrows.(Posted on 8/6/11)
