Beeman ICS carbon or Cabelas Hunter Extreme carbon. They are the same but the ICS is held to a higher straightness standard.

Wow, they even make aluminum any more???? I don't care what the price of carbon is, I'll never go back to aluminum. Long gone are the days when I was a young kid shooting cheap True-Flite arrows that would actually sometimes bend when they hit the foam target! It's a logistical no-brainer. One shot with aluminum and it's done or shoot several animals with each carbon before you actually have to break it or lose it.
Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

I have aluminum arrows that are over 25 years old and still as straight today as they were then. That's like saying you'll never shoot another carbon arrow because you shot one that was cracked and it blew up upon release. Well no kidding.

Carbon for me. I have killed several deer with the same arrow. It can bend and goes back straight. As long as you dont lose or break them, carbon arrows are more better. I use gold tips. I have got some good deals buying used arrows.
