Several have told me to update to carbon from aluminum. I did. Now my practice points seem to make them front heavy.
Do carbon arrows of the proper spine shoot lighter tips than aluminum? Carbon arrows are new to me. Can you tell? lol

Can you tell? lol No,they are lighter,stiffer shafts,so they will be somewhat more front heavy.The important thing as in all arrows is to get them well tuned. There isn't a thing wrong with aluminums.They will run straighter than all but the most expensive carbons.You may bend an occasional one but you will also probable break an occasional carbon.

^ this. I have both and a few of each in my quiver now. I see real no difference when shooting as far as performance goes. But that is just me and have no science to go along with that.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Yep..Carbon arrows can and are dangerous if you don't inspect them shot for shot..Each time I pull a shaft from a target I do a visual inspection and pull the arrow thru my hand trying to feel the slightest "Nic" in the shaft and look at the nocks..then I will flex the shaft by my ear and listen..A carbon arrow through you bow hand is a very very ugly wound to say the least..As far as weight forward goes I have added 30 grains of weight behind the insert to help with flight and impact..There are many archers that do this..Hope this helps
I can catch them here...I can catch them ANYWHERE

Gold tip even writes on their shaft to flex before you shoot. If it's bad, you will know. You don't have to flex it by your ear though. Lol.
