Nothing but woodies out of my Hill bows! Got Jason at Howard Hill making me a dozen right now to go with my new bow being made at the same time.

I tried aluminum for a while, but wood is all I use these days. I like to keep things simple.

Me too!!  :thumbsup:    :campfire:  Nothing wrong with the others, I just love the process of working and making up wood arrows. Feel like I put a little bit of myself in each one. When I make a harvest with one, just makes that moment a little more special.  :)  Even more so if I use something a friend has made me!

I like keeping the tradition alive and with longbows and recurves that would be wood.  I also love building them and every dozen are different plus you can change them some with fletching and cresting and I like to do that.

Just seems natural shooting wood arrows from longbows and it sure is fun making them, gives me more satisfaction in taking an animal with a handcrafted wood arrrow.

I started out shooting wood, then started shooting carbon.  Carbons are great, but I'm going back to wood for awhile.  It's fun to build them, and I'm not so sure carbon is really any more accurate.  Carbons may actually be cheaper in the long run, but then again I don't really know.  

The trouble with wood is finding quality shafting in the first place.  

Has anyone experiemented with using heavy FOC with wood arrows?

I like the nostalgia, the look, the feel,and the smell of cedar.  I like the toughness of hickory.  Wood is just plain fun. Nothing against aluminum, either as I have shot it a lot, but as stated above, there is warmth to wood. Never tried carbon.
