Ed,
I doubt that these arrows will be heaver than your aluminum arrows, but they're a bit heavier than most carbons I think. I am shooting Easton Axis 500's. I leave them full length (about 31") even though I only pull 28". I do that with any arrow I shoot unless I need to cut them down a bit to stiffen them up. These don't seem to need it. I fletch them with 4" parabolic feathers and, with a 125 grain point, they weigh about 415 grains. The point insert is unique as it goes up inside the shaft. I think this is part of why these shafts are so durable. I did break one (the first one) this weekend. We were hunting at Kothe's Pasture and were doing a little mid-day shooting at the camp. I plucked the string on one and hit a rock dead center at about 20 yards. That one broke, but I don't know of any shaft that would have survived that. I prefer carbons over aluminum only because I'm lazy and don't llike to straighten arrows.
