arrows need to be matched to the bow speed and draw length and poundage.I would go to a pro shop.go to eastons archery , they have a chart. take one look at the chart and you'll understand why i say go to the pro shop.

that's cool I was just wondering. AND your reason may be good input for someone else who's trying to decide which to use also

After many years of shooting aluminum, I now shoot Easton Axis St 400 camo arrows with 2" plastic vanes. They are a 9.8 gpi arrow and are a bit pricey if you don't make up your own. I think Cabelas' charge around $125/doz cut. There is a glue kit for the inserts that you do, which is nice to be able to line up the broadheads as you glue them in. Throw on some 3 blade Muzzy 100's and it makes for a high tech killing machine. Or hide glue on a stone point to a cedar arrow and go low tech. I think carbon has some advantages over aluminum especially for the very high speed bows of today!

Easton Full Metal Jackets have a carbon core and a aluminum outer shell. They are pricey. If you have all the stuff to do your own they are great arrows.

I have shot Easton ACC arrows for years always had good results. I shoot a Matthews bow at 70 lbs and the ACC has plenty of spine. They are tough two back when I shot aluminum it was one shot hit or miss and the arrow was waisted. I have taken two deer with the same arrow with the carbon which was unthinkable with alum.
