I've shot all three, but since I started shooting Beman ICS Bowhunter 500 carbons, they have become my go to shaft. If they smelled like POC, they would be perfect!

Been shooting autumn orange forever I guess I just like to find them when I miss which is alot! The only hard part of finding them is they are not made anymore .

It would be interesting to do this again in say 12 months time. I am sure that carbon's appeal is growing at the sake of the others.

Carbon is by far my first choice and what I hunt with from any type bow.
I do shoot wood as well because of rules at the 3ds I shoot in.They make the primitive class use wood or bamboo arrows for some silly reason or I would use carbon in them as well.
I replaced all my aluminum with carbon shortly after switching from compound to stickbows.I only have one dozen 2013s here at the house now after giving away 11 dozen to a freind.

I use carbons when shooting my Shrew's, and wood when shooting my HH's. I quess if I shot any RD bows, I would have to invest in some aluminums again.

Carbon. Beman MFX Classics. Small diameter and with 100 grain brass insert a nice weight. Very tough as well.
