What arrows is everyone shooting and why?

[Benha]

Cedars for me.

[MYSTIKBOW]

woodies off my longbows. Cedar,ash,white birch,
doug Fir,Sitka Spruse and Lodge pole pine all shoot very well and are oh so quiet. I do shoot 2018's off my recurves most of the time and I just picked up my first set of Carbon arrows.

a mix of cedar and ramin wood, dont like to straighten the ramins, but there so tough!

[TJ Jones]

aluminums are my last choice. Tried them one time and they were a waste of money in how long they lasted. I'm still shooting 5 or 6 out of the original dozen carbons I bought 7 years ago. Lost a couple and ends split on a couple from hitting rocks in the ground. Going to try some wood shafts.

[The Whittler]

I use cedar, alum, and carbon. What ever suits my fancy at the time.

2blade, i was also surprised to see so many shooting wood, i mostly use carbons, because they are much more durable than wood, especially POC. hardwood shafts are pretty durable esp. ash and laminated birch. but carbons don't need to be straightened and they are very tough, and of course quick nock and point replacement. I have also tried aluminum and regaurding those, i'll just say that i got a dozen for christmas this year, and i now have seven, all the others were broken, none lost.

[TENBEARS]

Straight because they fly the best!  

[Hot Hap]

POC

[whitebuffalo]

This might sound crazy but I shoot the same 2117 xx75 29" easton arrow out of my 45# kodiak mag as I do my 60# kodiak mag. That arrow performs awsome weighing in at about 550gr. makes the 45# bow hit hard and 60 pounder quick but deadly. I can do this cause of the center cut bow.

[carbonarrow]

laminated birch. My arrows are 700 gr's

[SteveMcD]

I like PO Cedar and Doug Fir.

[Night Wing]

Easton XX78 Super Slam aluminum arrows. Their straightness of .001 is better than many carbon arrows.

[traditional_archer]

POC and Ash, I currently have hexpine shafts on order.  I just really prefer wood shafts.  Although I have grizzly stiks set up for one of my long bows.

[2Blade]

What size and weight would you guys suggest for my 56lb Kempf bow with a 100gr 2 blade?

[katman]

Grizzlysticks for 3D (fat at the tip for cutting lines), Axis 340 footed with 2018 aluminum 600 grains total, 200 grain WW, 100 grain brass insert and 23% FOC for huntin' a penetrating sun of a gun, 340 MFX same setup weighing in at 645 grains for Africa in 09

[shootrmn]

beman mfx classic 400's at 470grns I clean off the label crown and crest and most people don't know they are not wood. I love the duability and consistancy. They are either straight or broke and so far I can't get to broke even though I have shot the steel bear twice.

[poekoelan]

I love ramin too. It's all I've used for years. I don't have a problem straightening it with my old frontier arrow straightener. Super cost effective and super tough. What more can you ask for??

But it looks like the ramin run is getting near it's end. I've heard about it for a long time now, but my local store has way less of it than I have ever seen. I have a bunch left, but I'll probably give birch a try sooner or later, in dowel form of course. From what I've heard, it runs neck and neck with ramin in price and durability.

Wonder what the local retail stores will replace it with??

[UK Bowman]

I use laminated birch also, I love the weight. I am looking at gettting a set of hex shafts just to try somthing a little new.

[AnointedArcher]

I will be using ASH arrows with 200grn ACE broadheads for Deer and Bear.  However for turkey I will be shooting carbon express with ACE broad heads.

I love shooting wood arrows and that is what I shoot most of the time, however you can not beat carbons for accuracy and durability!

[George Tsoukalas]

Pine and poplar because I hand plane my own shafts. Jawge
