Not trying to get anything cutting edge, just leisurely target practice and an occasional deer/turkey. Longest shot I would think about taking in the field is 40-50 yds. I was accurate at that range with the old aluminum ones, so someone sell me on carbon fiber if you think that is the way to go.

I'd urge you too look at the Easton FMJ shafts.
You'll feel like you're still shooting your old aluminum arrows, but you'll be getting some of the benefits of the carbon cores. They'll be heavy enough to kill well and pull from your targets like your aluminum shafts did. They are a small diameter shaft, which I personally prefer for many reasons. Vanes, as long as they are durable, are really a personal preference. I shoot a more compact vane with good helical. Don't let sticker shock scare you, you're obviously not an arrow loser and will be dividing the cost out over many years.
