I hate aluminum arrows!

[Ethain from PEI]

It seems every time I use them the arrow bends or the nock breaks or the head gets shoved up into the shaft. I guess I'll have to wait for summer and start building woodies  :rolleyes:

[Otto]

Been shooting alum for 20 yrs.  Never a problem except with the thinwalled 12 -14 series shafts.  What are you shooting?

[Bowspirit]

Could be that it's not the dimensions of the shaft, but the model. Those Fall/ Gold Stalker's from Easton have the strength of soft cheese...

[mcgroundstalker]

My grandmother used to say "Ya can't hate what you didn't love first"...Aluminum ain't that bad!...I think you just need a reason to have some fun with woodies... :rolleyes: ...

GE-WIZ!...I was told I went over to the "dark side" when I started shooting carbon arrows...

I have never liked aluminum. If ya target shoot and hunt big game they hold up well, but even the heavies 2219s and such never held up for me. I stump shoot a lot and my choices are carbon first, wood second, fiberglass third and than aluminum. It is just a personal preference. Shawn

[JEFF B]

i will shoot any thing as long as it will shoot out of my bows.LOL!!!      

[Lewis Brookshire III]

I have never liked Allum either. They just bend too easy for my liking.

[JEFF B]

hey it depends on what you hit with it lewis. LOL  

[Lewis Brookshire III]

LOL, very true!!

Hey by the way my wife has been begging me to move our family to NZ for like the last 3 years. She is in LOVE with that place and she has never even been there. LOL

I really like hunting with my aluminum arrows.  2216 swagged are very durable. That is my favorite combo. Only drawback is they can be a little chilly to handle on late season hunt.

[Recurve50LBS]

If you tell me what aluminum shafts you are shooting I may take them off your hands for you.

[Scott Smith]

What aluminum are you shooting? I would guess
that they aren't XX78 or X7. They are a cut above
the rest. Some cheap aluminum are exactly that
cheap aluminum. Also the size's play a great
deal too. Just another opinion.

[Bowspirit]

Nothing wrong with the XX75's, either...

[NightHawk]

I really like the legacy shafts. Wouldn't mind having them swedged just don't know how

[j yenney]

I can't say one bad thing about aluminum if they are eastons. But rocks,trees,ect. are hard on any arrow.

[KodiakBob]

Gotta shoot X7s anything less is too soft. For target use nibs points

[Otto]

Gotta disagree with you KodiakBob.

The dif between XX75's, XX78's and X7's is pure marketing spin.  96K psi tensile strength to 105K psi tensile strength is an increase of 10%, but hardly significant.  Wall thickness has a greater bearing on aluminum durability.  Stay with the shafts with 18-20 thousanths wall thickness and you can't go wrong.  I've got a dozen OLD gamegetters in 2018 that I've been shooting for years.  Those are OLD gamegetters made from 6065 alum.  Tensile strength on those old shafts was about 65K psi.  Again, unless like others said, if you're hitting rocks, ain't much any shaft material is gonna help.

Otto

Gotta love those old gamegetters.  Are yours in Autum Orange.

[schnitz]

them stalker ars difeerent aloy then the other alluns good for huntin though seems like the camo one are stronger  shot a nice buck this year though the shoulder blade with a 2219 and 78 lbs just bent the tip some can still shoot the arrow

[Rusty in Fla.]

I shoot 2016's and 2018's depending on which bow I'm using. They shoot well, BUT. They just ain't got no soul. There is something warm about handling a nice POC arrow.
