I am surprised at the percentage of real wood shaft shooters. I thought carbon would have been a larger percentage...like 50% wood, 35% carbon, and 15% aluminum. But what do I know...nothing obviously! lol

Great poll.. POC is my favorite shaft choice.. Because I can always get it and the smell is "perfect".. I am going to switch shafts when I need to build some heavier wood arrows.

I bet most of the non-woodies just didn't take the poll. Not enuf choices on wood types and what I prefer (Cedar) is not what I currently use (Spruce).
For a poll to be meaningful they have to ask questions worded very carefully.

I like Laminated Birch because of the weight.

Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.
