Best Arrow wood?

[coyote2]

What wood do you do you like best and why? thanks,Coyote2<><

[Puma Tom]

I like ash as well as anything.
 About the toughest wood arrow you will find.
 Good weight for hunting also.
 I have tried carbons, but may stick with wood.
             Good hunting >>Tom>>

I prefer Birch.Heavier than POC,but not too heavy.Very durable wood,it can take a beating.Straightens fairly easy,and it's not very pricey either.

I like ramin and poplar.  Ramin is good for a tuff, heavy arrow and poplar is lots tuffer than POC but close in weight to it.

[Bowspirit]

Ramin or bamboo, hands down...

[Hot Hap]

I'll stick with my POC. Tough enough and heavy enough. Easy to straighten. Hap

I still like good ramin when I find some.

I love maple the most or yellow birch but for a consistent supply those are hit and miss.  Laminated Birch has turned out to be just as good and the availability anytime you need some is very nice.  Joseph

I agree with Joseph, i think maple if ya can find good stright stuff is perfect. I think it is tougher than ash or birch. I have shot maple arrows into a 1/4" steel plate and had it split the field tip in two but the arrow was fine. Shawn

what is ramin?

[NY Yankee]

You know, ramin noodles? MMM-MMM good! Actually, its a hardwood from Asia I believe. They used to make hardware store dowel rods with it. I hear that tru ramin wood is hard to come by now. I like Douglas Fir a lot. Check out Surewood Shafts.
