I think there are lots of guys who have taken elk with wood arrows and a low 50# bow.

Do a little digging on the history of Easton. There is a reason people flocked to the aluminum arrow way back when the had cedar arrows 10x the quality of what is available today.

Wood arrows soothe the heart, carbon or aluminum arrows satisfy the brain.

I been shooting wood, I get a better tune and flight with them from my 40 lb talltines at my 27 inch draw. I have 2 gt trad 600 that fly pretty darn good, but everytime I set down to order more I can't due it.

But if I ever hunt elk I think I will try them given my set up. Heck just won the rienhart 100 in Missouri with wood.

Maybe it is just me, but I have found the DF to be every bit as durable as carbon .Especially when you consider what is a bruse on a carbon shaft is a ding in a DF shaft

AD trads or any of the other AD shafts for me just about exclusively. Tough, easy to tune, heavy for hunting, and fly great off just about any bow.
