Tastes great/Less filling! It's a debate. They both have there pros and cons. A con for carbon is if it splits and splinters inside your game where you will not have to worry about that with aluminum. A con for aluminum is they are easily bent. I'm sure others will have more info for you than this. I personally shoot carbon and added Greywolfs bolts to my use this year.

Seriously . . .use a straight one. Nothing else matters. I use carbons because I don't like to buy new bolts and I shoot a lot. However, if you are careful pulling the aluminums out of the target, you get the same results. I am still shooting the two carbon bolts that killed the two deer I harvested last season . . .never been able to do that with aluminum.

Aluminum have more kinetic energy. Carbon are faster, flatter trajectory. It all depends on what you are hunting. I prefer aluminum.

Aluminium for me 2219 XX75 Gamegetters & in the process of making some long distance 2219 XX78 Super Slam hunting arrows with the help & advise from Matthais. Take a look on the Venatores website at the arrow tests Matthais & the Venatores Shooters have been doing, makes for some very interesting reading if you hunt from long distance 60-100Yards.

I have used both carbon and aluminum with very good results . 2117 , 2216 , and beman thunderbolts and shoot to the same point of impact . The carbon has an edge in durability .
