Aluminums could be had in a zillion sizes and the old Easton charts were pretty damn good.
.
Pick your block and hop over one for next highest spine and it was a safe bet.
Carbons are lesser in choice size wise, and the charts laughable back a few yrs ago.
Have been shooting carbons since 2002. A dozen of so diff recurves. Only had one give me a bit of trouble (req more spine than thought ).
Durability......carbon wins.
And I have access to an Easton assembly line aluminum straightener, and know how to use one very well.
Anybody that doesnt have a good straightener ...needs to not go w aluminum IMHO. Hell, such a straightener may not even be found in shops today.
I liked the old Jim Daugherty naturals. Hell my brother in law might have some of my last Supernaturals laying around.
Paper tune has worked very well for me and has shown the same data as bare shaft. I see no difference in testing.
If its good its good and if not, its not.
I do know that not seeing a target, some folks may try to peek w papertune. Thats on them, not the paper. You either make a clean release w proper followthrough or dont.
And if you dont its gonna suck bare shaft too.
Papetune for me is at 6 ft. Seems to work pretty friggin good.
Dont understand the hate for that method.
