I should add I have quite a few sets of arrows including carbons, and I do use them for stumping if they fly close enough to wood arrows that I have assigned to that particular bow.

Last year when I used Sitka spruce I did random shots with  the SS,  while walking trails or waiting for someone.  I picked my targets a little more carefully and they worked fine for stumping.

I voted carbon, but I am shooting Axis FMJ's, which are carbon wrapped with aluminum.

I voted wood but am now shooting cane arrows. My latest batch I drilled out 3" and glued in a 3"piece of welding rod. The extra foc really makes them sink deep into the target!

Voted wood as that is what I am making right now, but also shoot carbon.

Ky stickbow, I seen that you are shooting 40# bow and I'm gonna be dropping down to 42# myself. Have you had any penetration issues with the light poundage?

Wood...douglas fir, mahogany, red balau, but now I have a batch of bamboo that is currently in the works.  I'll have to wait and see how it stacks up against wood.
