Bolts/Arrows

[SALTYDOG]

Which is better, Carbon or Alum?...or doe's it matter..w/#150 grain Bolt cutter's with a Phoenix...

They're both good and get the job done, I like alum because they're easier to work with, from changing nocks to fletchings a little heat and a sharp knife in your in the money, carbon a pita to change nocks if you use gorilla glue they don't like heat. JMHO

With some exception aluminums are cheaper and straighter. But the reason I use carbon arrows (and not all carbon arrows are pure carbon) is that they take more abuse.
Wes is right about what he says as well. Nothing's perfect, especially Wes

Both are good but:

Always flex carbon arrows after shooting. Seen a picture of someone with one through his hand so I thought I would check all mine. Had 2 splintered and 2 others were questionable out of a dozen I have been using for 2 years. Saved myself some possible grief. Will keep a closer eye on carbons from now on. Don't become a statistic when you don't have to.
