I come to the realization that I liked shooting and making wood arrows more when I tried to taper some wood grained carbons. Those things really don't take to a woodchuck grinder well. If I'm shooting just to shoot carbons are tought to beat but when it comes to hunting I love wood arrows. And making them have to me alot more meaning than a wrap and feathering. I love to straighten, taper , stain, crown, crest and seal my own arrows. I just think wood arrows have more personality that aluminum and carbon.
