Wood, I prefere Ash for hunting and douglas fir and cedar for stumping and target shooting.

I have always shot WOOD, and it was one of things that attracted me most to traditional archery 25 years ago.  Most recently though, I have done a lot of shooting and experimentation with carbon shafts.  Carbon is exceptional on many levels, but what gets me most excited is my ability to bare shaft tune it out to insane distances and to front load it (FOC) to no end, 25%, 28%, 30%, no problem.  Carbon arrows have also allowed me to do my most accurate shooting.  I have taken several deer now with carbon and have had nothing but pass-throughs!  Having said this however, there is nothing like taking an animal with a wood arrow you’ve put together yourself, this IMO, epitomizes traditional archery!

Wood - primarily Douglas fir but a few PO cedars.

Wood!!!!! I monkey around with carbon here and there,but in my opinion there is to much hassle in getting them to fly good. There is no uniformity in spine range between makers. A series"200" can mean two different things between makers and at $70 plus it gets expensive to try them out. Thanks John

I like wood arrows.  I enjoy making them and have always shot good with them.  Never had any reason to change.

Love shootin' my homemade woodies...but around here there's a rock under every speck of dirt (if you can find dirt), so I shoot carbon more frequently.  Love both of 'em for different reasons.  Never shot aluminium because....well I guess I never had any to shoot!  ;)
