Carbon arrows
DC:
Are carbon arrows much stronger/durable than bamboo? How about cheap box store carbons? I've been shooting a lot with my shooting machine and when the arrow hits the target it bends quite a bit. I thought maybe I would go over to the dark side and buy a couple of carbons just for testing purposes. I never thought I would say that out loud :D :D

I shoot GT trads and i foot the front with aluminum shafting. I wrap the nock with sinew. I have never broken one.

A friend of mine bought a bunch of carbons from Wal-Mart when they put them on clearance for $1 each. He stripped the plastic vanes off and put feathers on them. He said they shot fine. Carbons are almost indestructible. I shoot them out of my FG bows and sometimes selfbows if no one is looking :D
Marc St Louis:
Bought one many years ago and set it up for flight shooting. It didn't go any further than my wood flight arrows, in fact some of my wood arrows shot farther.
DC:
Are they or can they be as light or lighter than wood. One of the problems with the machine is getting a light arrow that won't break when it hits my target.
