For those of you that hunt deer or turkeys,do you use carbon or aluminum. I always shot aluminum. Now that I have switched to using the crossbow I find myself with quite a few 2413 arrows. Most of them are brand new.I have been considering putting them in the classifieds here on OG. So,anybody shooting aluminum still ?

I shoot carbon wrapped aluminum and aluminum wrapped carbon. Easton A/C/C's and full metal jackets.

The fmj's are awesome. I love them b/c they pull easier out of 3D targets. I am really wanting to bow hunt some of that public ground in SW KY this fall. A lot of bruiser coming from your state in the last ten years.

Carbon here, made the switch about 15 years ago and haven't looked back since.  A/C/C's topped with a Grim Reaper broadhead is one wicked combo, what can I say, I like to watch them drop.

That is a wicked combo!! I have come to prefer the two blade rage but loved the grim reaper. I guess those of us shooting A/C/C's and FMJ's should really answer both carbon and aluminum. lol

I've been using carbon arrows since they were introduced and would never go back to aluminums.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Same here.  Been shooting easton axis but may give the FMJ a try.  Read a lot of good stuff about them

They are bad medicine! A little on the heavy side, but with the small diameter they penetrate like no other. If you shoot long range the wind drift is a little less.
