First and foremost.....If you ever hit a rock, you must ask yourself......
Self.....what went wrong here.......
answer.......it wasn't my arrows fault.
If you don't shoot very well.....use aluminum. If your good and want to
be better...use carbon.
I shoot very good and when I reluctantly tried carbon, I became the poster-child to endorse carbon. . . . night and day difference.
So do you want to shoot really good.....or do you want your arrows to last forever?
