I do, nothing like a wood arrow. They are just plane good looking no matter what is done to them, plus they smell good and half the fun of shooting is the building of them. Not much life in a metal or carbon factory stick.

I prefer wood arrows over everything else. Nothing has the feel of a wood arrow. They have personality!!! I love to make them. I probably have 10-12 dozen woodies laying around my man-room, that I've made for myself!

Wood.  Sometimes grass (Rivercane, Bamboo).  Never have shot carbon, and for me, I really don't see any need to.

There is just something about wood that does for me. I like the way it shoots from my bow, it's more quiet and sounds better in the quiver too.

I have made the switch to wood POC,  But I still have and still shoot Easton classics and legacys, when they die  I'll be all wood.
I just can't seem to bring myself to shoot carbons. Sorry guy's, I know they are faster, straighter, tougher, etc etc etc......I just can't do it.

I consider myself an equal oppurtunity arrow flinger! I still like to shoot woodies sometimes however it seems I am shooting carbons more than the others the last few years.

The other materials are fine; but I just plain prefer working with wood, and shooting wood arrows, wood has warmth and life to it.

Wood has life. A big part of the enjoyment of shooting wood is the care and effort to craft a good set. I do have some aluminum but don't shoot them much.
