carbon/graphite arrows can break or crack just as aluminum can bend, though not as easily.
I know what you mean about the steel rod in 3-D some targets - I've hit a few of them myself.
If you do buy carbon arrows; and miss the target or hit something hard, look them over carefully to see if there is a crack. Shooting a cracked carbon arrow can be a very bad thing.
With all the good there is about carbon arrows, I still have a fondness for aluminum. They are straighter and much easier to work with. I don't use aluminum for much anymore, other than indoor target shooting.
It is hard to beat the broadhead accuracy of an aluminum shaft with feathers. It is kind of like going backwards in technology, but it is a great combination.
(i'm not at all criticizing carbon shafts)
