Aluminum and carbon have no soul, no personality. Wood arrows have both, and are quieter, both in shooting and in handling. Ever accidentally tapped your bow with an aluminum while hunting? It's an unnatural sound that alerts everything in the woods. Do it with a wood arrow, and it sounds like an acorn fell.
Wood arrows naturally dampen the vibration of shooting more quickly than arrows made other materials. Aluminum arrows actually "sing" while going through the air. They don't quit vibrating until they hit the target, if it hasn't jumped out of the way or ducked. Stand downrange in a safe place and listen.
For me, nothing equals personally making up a quality set of woods and shooting them, especially taking game or winning trophies with them. They are a link to tradition and personal satisfaction that I just don't get with the manufactured stuff. When I shot competition, I really enjoyed switching to a recurve sometimes and beating the aluminum and carbon shooters with my handcrafted barreled woods, just to show what the woodies can do.
