I've shot wood, carbon and aluminum shafts and I like them all. But I am wondering just what are all you Trad Gangers shooting.

Easton FMJ 340's full length with 3 - 4 inch right helical fletch. I am using 100 grain brass inserts with 200 grain points for a total of 691 grains and 21% FOC. The fly like darts and hit extremely hard.

There's no option for all.
Each of them is their own animal.Carbons can't be beat for durability,aluminums can't be beat for the durabilty/weight combo,and wood is wood...not much more to say about them.Not the most durable,and can lose straightness,but they sure do make a pretty arrow.

I shoot Black Hawk Vapors mostly anymore, but I still shoot wood from my longbow when I'm after treerats or bunnies.

What's "Carobon"? Is this new?
Always shot wood, always will. I like to make my own arrows, and love working with different types of shaft woods.

Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"

Wood for me BTW: Specifically, Douglas Fir.
Its typically heavier per inch than Cedar and in my opinion a whole lot tougher!

I shoot carbons, but I picked carobon...
Gold Tips for the most part. Haven't done me wrong yet, super flight, rather durable, and penetration hasn't been an issue, more often than not I pull my arrow out of the dirt after passing through whatever I shoot with them. Lots of more expensive shafts out there that are supposed to be "better", but I can't complain with what has worked for me so I'm sticking with them.

I did not realize how many wood shooters there are here. Kind of surprises me a little.
