POC's love 'em. Nothing like wood arrows out of wood bow's. Tried aluminum and carbon, wood works best for me.

My bow is wood, my arrows are wood and the place I hunt is not artificial either!

The ambience and romance of a walk in the forest cannot be beat!

Not yet, after what I paid for the carbons that I got I need to use them first. But ever time that I go some place that sell wooden arrows I look at them and they look some much neater that what I have. Oh well someday.

This thread was a nice reminder. I have a new bow coming sometime soon so I placed an order this afternoon with Suzanne St. Charles for two dozen POC arrows.

Hi All,

My winter project is finishing up four dozen woodies....eighteen with broadheads, and thirty with field points!  These will probably last for the next three or four years and will be all I shoot.
