[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2247564, member: 103947"] Aluminum/carbon shafts are a bit stiffer than carbon or aluminum of comparable diameter. Not sure if your theory is correct or not but I don't have one to counter it. I do know arrow weight vs speed in a compound bow has been argued and tested over the years and I believe if I remember correctly that arrow speed won that argument. I think they put a super fast IBO (350 grain arrow) against a 550 grain arrow from the same weight bow. The lighter arrow wound up having more penetration than the heavier arrow in the same target. Not sure what the KE was for each arrow but the penetration test was clearly in favor of the faster/lighter arrow. Chuck Adams was a real stickler for heavier arrows offer better penetration. I'd say on heavy boned big critters, I'd stay with heavy and slower rather than light and faster. I'm in the Chuck Adams camp. [/QUOTE]
