I tried some and I like them, they fly great and hit hard but I was interested to hear what everyone else thought

I've used both sitkas and alaskans and liked how they flew. I can't use anything but 125 grain tips with the sitkas on any of my set-ups. It's not a deal breaker for me though.

I use them, I like them. They fly well for me, but may not for you. Gotta find what you like and stick with it.
My Alaskans weigh ~ 715 grains and fly just fine.

I'm pretty much an Arrow Dynamics guy but, have been interested in trying some of the Sitkas. I would like to shoot them out of my new Kohannah Kurve when it's done being built. It will be 64" and 45#@29". Would that be the right shaft?

I use them and am very impressed. I found them to fly the best out of all my bows. I use the alaskans. I have tried about any combination of head weight 125-200 out of all my bows from 59#'s-70#'s and have not had any flight issues at all. Plus I like the way they look!! Might seem kind of spendy but it beats buying different arrows for all my bows!!
Thanks again Rey for the alaskans, already have them wrapped and fletched!!

I've use Sitka's and Alaskans, really like them, spendy but tuff, I've never broken one after hundreds of shots on stumps, did break one when I missed my target with a broadhead and it hit a rock.

I've bben using some alaskans since August. I've got the brass inserts in and with 300grs up front the total weight is 800grs. They fly perfectly out of my 64# and 75# longbows. I have smashed a bunch of rocks and some hard stumps with no damage so far. I did have one break after penetrating a bear it was still hanging out of shoulder and he hit a tree on death run, arrow snapped in half. Gotta think any arrow would have done same. SO far they are the toughest shafts I've tried.

They are the top of the my list for carbon arrows. Use the "O.L." method for tuning, as most people have a tough time of bareshafting them.
They are tough, they are hard hitting, and I have not had any issues with accuracy. So as I have stated before, if any of you have them in lengths of 28 inches or longer, and not satisfied with them, I will gladly take them off your hands....LOL

Great luck with Alaskans but the Sitkas kept breaking on me.

Should add that I've never used the Sitkas in the testing. All the testing has been with the Alaskans, Safari and Big 5 versions. Cher uses the Sitkas though, with no problems noted so far.
