Re: Aluminum arrows
Yes they do over a period of shots. I shoot them alot, i take 4 from a dz. fer practice. I usually get 1200-1500 shots from them wid decent accuracy
Re: Aluminum arrows
Alums are cheaper but once bent, which can happen easily, are basically useless for accuracy sake. But they then make great tomato stakes

Re: Aluminum arrows
Bags targets or the 3-D type are best on them
Re: Aluminum arrows
I have used aluminum arrows for 6 years, I loose them before the 1200 mark.
The nice thing is they don't splinter, just bend. Have not had problems bending while target shooting just pull the arrow from close to the target not from the end of the arrow.

Re: Aluminum arrows
i've been using all. for about 30yrs every now and then i bend an arrow but it is on deer usually but then again i've used the same arrow on several deer, as far as overshooten them i tend to lose em long before that is relevant; are carbons faster, yes in most cases, do they shoot good, yes very well. i shoot both but when it's hunting time iuse a heavy alluminum arrow(pyledriver)
better an overkill than an underkill
