Whatchya shootin'?

[VA Bowbender]

I like to shoot wood and carbon.
$135.00 for carbon    
This is the best place I've found so far for carbon shafts.  I've been shooting the Gold Tip Traditionals. (simulated wood)

I wait for the blemish sales from Sipsey River. I got 2 dozen GT Camo blems for just less than $135. Or maybe it was $135... Either way, that is two dozen fletched, cut, insert glued, and shipped arrows. That should last me at least 3 years, probably more.

What kind of bow you shooting and what’s the draw weight......stabow

The bow I want to try them with is a hybrid, semi-recurve. More of a longbow style limb r/d design.

Im shooting 62# at my 28" draw.

I like  wood arrows, but pretty much shoot carbons for their durability. As far as price, I can usually find them for around $50/doz. for raw shafts. Add $12 for brass inserts and $20 for feathers and I end up with about $85/doz. for a tough 600 grain arrow. Mike

I love to shoot woodies when feeling romantic, but when I'm wanting to get my max hunting range I always take carbons.  Nothing shoots as well, or penetrates as deep as my CE Heritage shafts.  That's what works for me.

Gold Tip 35/55 Trads and Vapor Carbonwood 3000 now. I'm seriously looking into some Tapered Cedars or some Tapered Sitka Spruces though. I didn't think I would like them but they fly like the Dickens out of my Mohawk Longbow.

Thanks for the info everyone. Ill check it out.

I probably WOULD shoot wood BUT with all the different weight (spine) ranges The cost I think will go WAy beyond what Carbon gives you.  Plus I dont want to worry about Straightening Anything  Carbon is straight and it stays that way!!

Wood arrow shooter here, too, particularly ash.  For years, I've have tons of XX75 autumn orange arrows and shafts that an old timer gave me stored in buckets, since I cringe at the thought of using aluminum.  But with what seems like a disproportionate escalation in the price and tax on wooden shafts, I'm seriously considering using those aluminmums, purely for the sake of economy.

Gold Tip Traditional here....I love making wood ones but just dont have the patience to make them and break them so whne i get to be a better shot i might go back but these carbons are just to tough..

I shoot wood only.
