I used aluminum up until 2 years ago. As Big O said they were cheaper to replace and overall I don't know that their hunting performance is much different. I switched because I was tired of having to throw out arrows during practice. Field tips will crease and deform the shafts of aluminum arrows that are already on the target when they strike even glancing blows at them. In the end my carbons were probably 30% more expensive, but other than re-fletching and new nocks I think I've only destroyed a few shafts since the switch. I was buying 2 dozen aluminums a year. That's just my experience. Which ever you chose, check to see that they sit in your rest ok, the difference in diameters will have some effect there. Good Luck Matt.
