Ahhhh...there is just something about wooden arrows! Nothing says trad. like wooden arrows.

I shoot all wood, too. Coon, I like the lam birch. What spine are you shooting, might have a few you can try. Where in IL are you?

I shoot carbons from my Savannah. But I also own a yew Blacktail longbow. It seems almost unnatural to use anything other than woodies with this bow. I now have a Blacktail recurve on order. That bow will also be fed nothing but wood arrows.

Nothing smells better than a freshly broken cedar.

If I could shoot good enough to shoot woodies without breaking them all of the time, I would. My carbons fly great and they are pretty tough also.

I just made the switch from carbons for a special hunt I've got in the works. I love my carbons, but these tapered hickories sure are nice. The mojo they carry almost seems to hit as hard as they do...

I shoot carbon now but I really want to try wood. I shot wood arras when I was a boy 40 yrs. ago. As soon as i can get the funds together and can figure out what spine I need im going to get the things I need to craft my own. I cant wait to shoot wood again.

wood for me

I have a 30-1/2" draw and had problems finding good quality woods that worked for me, so reluctantly switched to goldtips some years back. They're functional and worked fine, but I've always missed the woodies. Then last year I discovered Surewood Douglas Fir shafts out of Oregon! I leave their 23/64, 32" shafts full length, and with a Hunter Taper they'll outperform my carbons...quieter, more forgiving and hit consistently higher at anything past 30 yds. Wood for me!

Wooden bows and wooden arrows go together well so that's what I shoot from the bows that I make... I still have some 2117s around and I shoot them from my fibreglas bows. Never tried carbons.

POC for me.

I have a few carbons that get shot for stumps, but wood is the choice for hunting.
