What do you shoot? Do you prefer glass lam bows or all wood bows?

I have glass bows and bamboo backed bows. I shoot what I am in the mood for lately. Shot my Fox longbow for a few years and got some confidence and experience. Now I'm "into" shooting a building boo backed bows again and wood or cane arrows. I shoot just as good with a well set up wood bow and arrows as I do with my glass bows now.

Not really anymore. Maybe I need to shoot the wood gear some more to know for sure, but I like to be aleast 90% accurate out to 15 yds. and I seem to be getting that with my wood bow and arrows right now. I was more accurate with the glass bow and carbon arrows at first. I'm thinking it was a lack of knowledge of proper set up. I wonder what some of the other wood bow shooters think.
