      1 had a friend at a archery shop fletch me a 2018 aluminum shaft and a carbon express 400 shaft they both flew very well,the aluninum with 125 gr.heads give me about 10 grs.per lb.of draw wt.with high but not extreme foc. as a added bonus he had a bunch of swaged shafts he,s had a long time he let me have very cheap.i know its probably only me but carbon doesnt seem as durable as i would like it to be.thx
