Good points, BT. Funny, I also felt I was more accurate with alum. Couldn't have been because I was younger.   |

I don't like the noise an aluminum shaft makes when drawn. Didn't like bending them either. Shot some this past summer, it was fun. They are on the heavy side too. Lets face it, carbon didn't come along for no good reasons. What we need are some after market shafts. Just like in the auto industry.  |

When carbon first came out they were cheaper than the aluminum's  AFC and Beaman were the only ones in the game and by comparison....they are dead companies. Cabela's is the place to look for cheap carbon such as the Mavericks |

I'd settle for reasonably priced. 10+ bucks a shaft doesn't seem reasonable to me.

Me either.
I think of shafts in the $6. range to be average and $4. to be bargains.
I remember when I was paying 25 cents for a finished shaft so by contrast , everything is a rip off ;D
