are alum arrows as good as carbon for hunting

[tlbradford]

I now see advertisements for “higher grains per inch” weight carbon shafts to “maximize penetration”. Wait a minute…I thought the whole reason for carbon technology was light construction and speed.

That is actually the reason I went with carbon over wood for my longbow.  I can get an arrow with a high EFOC number and a heavy arrow which helps maximize penetration, especially when you are shooting around 190 ft/sec and not 300.

ok cory or the man at Xxx i am shooting a mathews dxt 27in draw and 60 lbs 26 3/4 in arrow im looking for hunting arrows but i want good arrows  i dont want to spend more than i need to so thats my question are alum arrows just as good as carbon for hunting will they fly just as straight and have as much energy i can get carbon from you for 75 dollars doz but over in longview on oak street i can get alum for 38 dollars a doz i was told there i shoot what i like better i havent shot alum in years im realy just getting back into archery and i have a doz carbon arrows now but i need to buy more befor hunting season and im not sure if i should spend the money on carbon or shoot the less expensive alum arrows is one as good as the other for a good hunting arrow mid price arrows and thankyou in advance cory i would realy like your

ok so still not knowing what alum arrow...lets just say they are 2117 GG with a spine of .407
at 26.75" that arrow will be about 475grains at your draw shooting 220 fps with 51.06 Kinetic Energy

now if we shoot a 400 spine Victory arrow for 69.00 dz  will be about 370 grains
would shoot 255fps with 53.44 kinetic energy

so for hunting I would shoot the carbon arrow over the alum.
the alum arrows you can get for 38.00 will have a conventional nock ...not as good as the super nock that carbon arrows have or better alum arrows have....alum arrows are very straight and have real good spine ...but you will get more life with the carbon.
I still shoot alum arrows for indoor shoots cuz they shoot so good ...but it is 20 yards ...slow, but hits the same spot..but I shoot X7 alum and they cost 90+ a dz. ...so some times cheaper is not always better...
I hope this helps....alum will fly just as good as carbon...

if you need more info call me I can talk better than type...
