Cool. I myself have, on occasion, been accused of being an unfashionable retrogrouch.
However, when it comes to arrow shafting, I've continually evolved with the very latest in cutting edge technology;
In my early naive days of trad archery I started off with POC. I was soon convinced by some techno-types that the consistencty of aluminum makes it the king of shaft materials. I was in the aluminum phase for about a year or so until someone introduced me to that wonder material known as carbon fiber. I had been shooting carbon fiber for a few years until, at about this time last year, someone suggested I try something different.
This happened at my first ever competitive 3D shoot and a friend slipped me a 1/2 dozen finished arrows and told me that I needed to use them if I wanted to shoot in the longbow category. I took a few practice shots with these arrows and was blown away by how nicely and quietly they flew. It was as though I had been reintroduced to an old friend that I'd turned my back on years ago. Luckily for me, POC is extremely forgiving, and we've had a great relationship over the past year. However I do see a potential homewrecking third wheel on the horizon who goes by the name Douglas Fir, and hails from the surewood forest. I'm beginning to worry that I'm a 4, maybe 5 timing arrow shafting floozy! Particularly with regard to this Douglas thing - wouldn't this go against nature? I'm sure SloBowinMO would approve, but what about the rest of the trad community?
