what is a good stumpin arrow, wood or carbon

[redeemed]

Is there a GOOD carbon arrow that will take the abuse a good stump shootin day will hand out?Where do you go for GOOD prices on arrows?

I use wood now,have 2117's also,they just don't feel like traditional to me.

carbon are stronger arrow.  back when i started shooting 3-d i shot wood and when i missed... i prayed i miss the trees.  then i switched to carbon.  one day at a shoot i dead hit a tree. im thinking well so much for that arrow.  picked it up and spun the arrows.... perfect just like new.

Ash and Hickory shafts make excellent stump shooting arrows.

I have had better luck with wood, I keep craming the inserts up in the shaft on carbon arrows.

By far the most durable stump arrow that I have found is Cabela's SST carbons. They have the outsert and that adds strength. I have hit alot of trees head on without any problems. They cost about $50.00 per doz. for the shafts. Brokenwing

I'm using Carbon Express Terminator Hunters.  They've held up to some serious stump shooting abuse, including 4" fence posts and frozen dirt clods.  I've broken a grand total of two; one was entirely my fault when I horsed it out of a fence post, the other center punched an unseen rock at 20 yards...

Got myself some Carbon Express Rebels...Make 1" sleeves from old 2216s...Sleeve the front and back ends and you have an almost indestructable stump shooting arrow...See, carbon is cool cause it's always straight, just weak at the end of the shaft.

Cost is around $48 per doz. cut to length...

Good Luck

Carbon is the way to go. Like Mike said ya can foot them with aluminum and help with the tips, but I do not worry about that and break or damage very few. I would say 8-10 to one over wood as far as damaging them. Aluminum forget it. Make sure you always flex a carbon after a miss that hits something hard. Shawn

caaaarbon!!!

Ramin...the only way to go. I have arrows I have been stumpin with for 7 years now that have broker judos and curled over the edges of steel blunts and they keep on hittin it hard.  Best wood shaft out there for me.  Nothin takes a squirrel out of a tree like a 700 grain shaft!

Carbon. Gold Tips are pretty tough.

Usually I am ready to  get rid of that old beat, tattered feather, wooden arrow anyhow by the time I turn it into a stumping arrow and if its a questionable shot,I'll pull out an arrow so ugly that I'm ready to throw it away , it usally survives to shoot again. What really hurts are those nice pretty ones I lose on the first shot.
  I agree about ramin I got one old shaft now that just won't get lost.

For you guys shooting the devil woods (carbons) that have inserts backing out try JB Weld. havent had one back out yet.

I second ramin.  I tend to lose arrows, not break them. It's hard enough to walk away from the hunt for a lost arrow that cost me less than a buck!
