Re: Aluminum Arrows

I am on only my 3rd set of a dozen alum arrows since I started hunting in 1980....I cut down my compound arrows to 20" when I bought my exocet in 08, that dozen set of arrows were the 2nd dozen I bought back in 95 !!!....I was down to 4 arrows from that dz so I bought the 3rd dz 2 years ago.......
