what shaft type do you shoot?

[Joshua Grimshaw]

Surewood Doug fir. Great stuff.

[trasher]

Carbon 100grain brass and 125 grain heads

[slowbowjoe]

Doug Fir.Unless I can't get the weight down for my 45# bow, in which case I shoot Spruce on occasion. I find Fir holds up better for stumping, and I prefer the flight characteristics.
I go to Surewood first when it's time for a set, then Hildebrand or Wapiti if my weight range isn't available.
( beyond the shafts in and of themselves, Surewood has been the quickest and most consistent in customer service, for me.)

Wood for everything. I shoot mostly cedar and some Douglas fir. Wood is the only way for me. I love the process of making a nice set of woodies and outshooting my buddies with carbons

[jt85]

Carbon with 100 grain brass insert and 125 grain heads

[Producer]

Gold Tip Traditionals, 125 grain head and 50 grain brass inserts.

[KyStickbow]

Aluminum for me.

[Caleb Monroe]

I have to shoot full length carbons. I don't use brass inserts always. But my heads are all 200 grains and up. Pretty easy for me to stay at 10gpp. On my arrows I hunted with this year I was at 24% FOC.

[pockets]

Wood. Never had the desire to shoot anything else since the mid-60s .

[Babbling Bob]

Axis trads.

Shoot 28.5 inch 600's with 75 grain brass inserts and 80 grains up front for five 40# to 45# old Bears. Vary point size from 70 to 110 grains as needed. Have a 26-inch draw. Just keep buying'em six at a time when money allows.  That way, I always have over a dozen ready to go.

They shoot fantastic!!  Fly like those old target arrows long ago.

[3Feathers]

Aluminum for me.

[CHENRYIV]

I used to use mainly carbon, however since being turned on to Surewood Shafts in 2011, that's my go to arrow shaft for hunting. I do use an occasional carbon shaft for 3D when the shots get nasty.

My first arrows were wood back around 1965.  Then in the 1960's I tried aluminum.  I waited to try carbon until about 2003.  They were all better than I could shoot them.  

 I went back to wood for good after I started shooting a set of Snag's  arrows.  Douglas Fir or Sitka Spruce. What's not to like? They can be beautiful, the weight I want is already there, and they are quiet.

2018 XX75 Easton aluminums.

[Jason Kendall]

Aluminum for the last 15 years but may try Surewoods this year just for something new.

[Gdpolk]

I prefer carbons, footed with brass inserts for a higher FOC and durability.

[dbd870]

I have surrendered and now shoot carbon.

[last arrow]

I generally shoot Easton FMJ's

[flyguysc]

Axis, Axis trads, Aluminum 1916s and woodies sometimes.I love shooting 1916 shafts. Ordered some tributes from Lancaster's for $2.70 ea.verses $10.00 for the Axis shafts. I shoot daily so beating up on arrow shafts is a factors in my retirement budget. ]web page[/URL]

I should add I have quite a few sets of arrows including carbons, and I do use them for stumping if they fly close enough to wood arrows that I have assigned to that particular bow.

Last year when I used Sitka spruce I did random shots with  the SS,  while walking trails or waiting for someone.  I picked my targets a little more carefully and they worked fine for stumping.
