I dip and crest all my arrows regardless of material, not to mention the time spent tuning them. So I feel pretty crappy when I lose or break any arrow.

Traditional archery is a craft that requires time and dedication to develop the skills necessary to do it well, including making your arrows. If you want to be a traditional archer, take the time to learn how. Making wood arrows is an integral part of the archer's craft.
If you're looking for the easy way out, buy a compound bow and shoot artificial materials.

I disagree on the woods being easier to tune than the others. Every shaft material is equally difficult to tune. For a beginner tuning is secondary to form training anyway. Every arrow must be precisely matched and you should not worry about hitting the mark until you are grouping arrows the same way everytime. Tuning is part of aiming and that is completely worthless until you execute your shot consistently.

I agree with Don also. I've been shooting carbons, and will continue to, but I'll be making-up some woodies for hunting season. I've got a couple D-Shape Longbows that are just begging to spit some wood.
