Who still shoots aluminums?

[David Mitchell]

You guys need to be careful sniffing too much of those aluminum shavings....can be habit forming and mess with your brain.  

[Stkbow3]

1816's are my go to shaft. work great in both my recurves and longbows in the 40-50# range. Getting ready to order doz  1816 easton "Tribute" shafts. Give them a try.

[Rifle River Scout]

Depends on what flys straitest out of the bow I'm shooting. I just received a Tolke Curlew and was tuning it for arrow flight, the arrow that works best is a 2018, so 2018 it is.
Shoot what works.

[Alfie]

Flinging 2117 Legacy shafts from my recurve and cedar woodies from my longbow.

[Ulysseys]

As mentioned before, they're cheaper and easier to tune; I can cut small pieces at a time with just a small pipe cutter, not a high speed arrow saw.

I just picked up 11 2016 Autumn Orange xx75's at the local second hand store.  Asked the person at the checkout how much, the said $11, so I offered $9 and they accepted.  They were fletched with 5" parabolic, complete with 125grain points. I'm shooting them on an NFAA league from a 47# longbow.  They are a little stiff, but are full length shafts, and seem to fly good.

[Kenny Henderson]

I still shoot the 2117 shaft, to me it is the 30-06 of the arrows, just seems to be the right arrow for so much of what I do. Aluminum is straight...aluminun is consistent in weight...aluminum is easy to work with, and it is also what I grew up shooting. They just seem to fly good (as long as properly spined). Love 'em

[rambo1993]

i will only shoot aluminum

[Del Savio]

Legacy for me.  Aluminum for all the reasons abundantly given already.  Plus "inertia"-the psychologial kind is part of my consevative profile.  Hell,if Microflights were readily available I would probably be shooting them.

A couple of weeks ago, I received my first aluminum arrows to try.  I've shot carbon since I started, but kept hearing good things about aluminum.  I also really wanted an arrow I could use 125 gr. tips with.
30" XX75 2018's are shooting beautifully from my K-Mag.
Plan to try these with a couple of other bows now.

That's all I shoot, 1916's and 2016's great arrows.

[SERGIO VENNERI]

aluminums are all I shoot, my recurves love them.  

[hardtimes]

No carbons here. These guys pretty much covered it. I love my 2018's and 2117's depending on which bow I am shooting. Also have a set of woodies Snag made that shoot great too.

[DarrinG]

I just ordered 1/2 doz XX75 Camo Hunter 1816's for my #45 recurve. As others have said, aluminum is just so easy to tune, without all the tube weights, etc, etc. And they fly straight and true.

[subsonic]

I use a bunch of aluminums for all of the reasons already stated above.  Mainly 1916s, 2016s and 2018s.

[DTD]

I shoot both at the same time-carbon on the inside and aluminum on the outside--FMJ's.

[Igor]

I shoot Aluminums most days...save my carbons and woodies for hunting....I like the legacy swagged tips - if I'm hitting nocks I'm only breaking nocks...

These are some Easton Eagle aluminums I just made up.  Maybe for a Valentine's Day stump shoot???  Nothing says love like a pretty pink arrow!

 

[BOWMARKS]

1918 Autumn Orange shafts for me     They work out of all my bows with very little tuning.
A strong heavy arrow and I find that when it happens easy to straighten.  

[pamike]

WOW - sounds like i need to give this a try.  I really did not think all you guys shot alum's.  almost stunned.  

All my bows are between 45 and 52# at my 30" draw. Mostly longbows.  What shaft should i be using 2117, 2213, or???

Thanks
Mike
