I currently shoot Gold tip carbon arrows thinking of switching to Easton aluminum
manly for ease of building, I have a fletch jig but no carbon arrow saw and i do have a cutter for aluminum. Curiose what everyone shhots.

I switched from aluminum to carbon arrows a few years ago. I wouldn't go back to aluminum. I noticed with the aluminum it cant take alot of abuse. Even some pass thru shots would still cause it to bend. For me, carbon arrows last longer and seem to fly better.
Bow season will be hear before you know it. Good Luck!

Gold tips also. Only thing i do not like about them is they are easier to split since they have the open end versus the tapered end on the aluminum. I just put an arrow inside another one last night.

I haven't really shot in several years, but I always used carbon arrows for tournaments and aluminum for hunting. Aluminum is cheaper, and like someone said, easier to build at home. You shouldn't be target practicing with your hunting arrows anyway, after you've sighted in. Aluminum works just as well as carbon for hunting in my opinion. Really, the only advantage I ever saw to carbon was the smaller diameter made it shoot a tad bit flatter due to less drag, and they're a bit tougher. But, if you're shooting in competitions, the smaller diameter can hurt you in line-cutting ability.

There is no way I would go back to aluminum....
