Carbon arrows
PEARL DRUMS:
Most bare shafts will weigh between 7-10 GPI, depending on the chosen spine and brand. Heavier shafts are tougher shafts because the walls are thicker.
PaSteve:
Carbon may be perfect for your application. Foot the tip end with aluminum shafting and you'll have a very structurally sound arrow. Like Pearly said a higher gpi is usually a thicker wall and therefore less prone to breakage. It will also allow you good weight parameters with field points weighing from 80 to 300 grains.
Danzn Bar:
Question: Why do you shoot a carbon arrow out of a self or backed bow?

DC:
It's just for my shooting machine. I have it set up in my shop so the arrows fly about four feet. They hit the target at some strange angles and my bamboo arrows were bending so far some have broken. I thought the carbons my take the strain better. I actually had the machine set up so the arrows hit the target dead straight but then I put in a different bow and it went sideways.
Danzn Bar:
Oh ...your shooting them out of a machine....maybe I should ask why are you shooting from a machine? Do you hunt or shoot 3D with a machine. Machines can be tooooo consistent. Shooting a bow is not that. I like to match the equipment.
