2115 xx75 aluminums? why not carbon shafts? Just curious....

Carbon shafts are a pain in the ass to pull out of foam targets, and for target they work fine.

In the school or outdoor? How far can you shoot in the school?

Use a bit of arrow lube and carbon shafts slide out very easily. If you don't have arrow lube - use a bar of soap. Rub the soap up and down the arrow for about 6 to 8 inches behind the tip and you're good to go.

Carbon shafts are waaay more durable than aluminums. Could get expensive - as the aluminums get a bit bent.

Ive been shooting aluminums for 8 years, I honestly beleive they are way better than carbons for a few reasons, first they can be straightened if they get bent, carbons shatter, second I have gotten carbon slivers in my hand before, and they hurt like a son of a b****h, third i find them to be way more reliable.

And The school, 18.5 meters, but its not open to the public, you have to have a membership and even then you can only shoot when someone with a entry card is there also.

That's the funniest thing that I've heard all day. As soon as an aluminum shaft gets tweaked, it should go in the garbage.

Ya know - aluminums are good for target archey. My bro' used them to good affect in his first attempt at the Vegas Spots Shoot. Carbons rule when it comes to hunting though.

But whatever you like to use - the point is that you're getting out there and using them! Good on you.
