Been using aluminum since the beginning. Killed my first deer with a Herter's aluminum in 1962.

Of course I've killed a pile of stuff with wooden shafts, fiberglass and carbon but have probably done more with aluminum than any other.

For years when I shot 70#+ I used Easton 2219 and now since I've dropped back in weight to 55 to 60# @ 28" I use 2216's. Flight characteristics are perfect even though I tell myself I should be shooting a lighter spine.
None of the lighter shafts I've tried shoot as well as the 2216"s.

I've also used a variety of point weights on them from 125 gr. to 190 with no real impact on arrow flight.

[Tajue17]

1916's with 200gr heads from my 48# Thunderbird (Dacron and soft curves)

57@28 widow PSA  2020's and zwickey deltas  have taken alot of  game for me, I've shot aluminum since I started hunting in the early 70's  out of a vast variety of longbows and recurves and usually with deltas on aluminum adapters , I've shot alot of woodies but aluminum is my favorite shaft for alot if reasons , never messed with carbons as I never saw a reason to change
