shaft material poll

[Kevin L.]

I've tried 'em all, but it's wood for me. That said, I've been messing around with cane a bit, jury is still out.

[foamkiller]

Carbon.......is there anything else?

[Paul WA]

I love building woodies but shoot carbon for the durability ...PR

[HOWITZER]

gotta go carbon...with a splash of woody thrown in once in awhile.

[Bowferd]

Other. Cain here, also wood.

[Mack_S]

I like the carbons for the duribality and they shoot great out of my bow too.

[dmart]

Carbons. Beman MFX, they're very durable and shoot well out of my Groves.

[Encino Man]

I shoot woodies and carbon. I like the durability of carbon but nothing beats the feel of some good woodies.

I love aluminum arrows but recently switched to carbon because I need to have enough confidence in my arrows to know that they won't bend on impact.

I love the weight of an aluminum arrow but after bending 6 of them in league this winter, I can't afford it anymore lol.

I now shoot a Heritage 250 which isn't far off in weight from my 2117s and they are amazing. I haven't shattered one yet.

Ultimately I would rather have them break or be perfectly straight than have the possibility of a bend.

[Ed Isaacs]

I shoot mostly carbon these days, but still use some aluminum, POC, dogwood, rivercane and other natural materials as well.

[Buckeye Trad Hunter]

I voted for carbon.  Even though I shoot all 3, carbon is really my go to.

[Arrow4Christ]

I love wood    With the right building techniques I see no disadvantage to other materials.

Does cane or laminated wood still count as wood ? Or would that be other?

[rickshot]

Aluminums are my usual high-volume go to shooters…but woods are my favorite and saved for the more memorable shooting. I’ve had the Autumn Orange fever since they first came out, so I still don’t have enough, but they count with hundreds of other aluminums I have and many dozens of cedars. Just a happy camper, here. Rick.

[Sam McMichael]

Almost, but not quite, exclusively wood. Every once in a while I shoot aluminum.

2016 legacy shafts awesome!!! when and if i can get em  

[Roconman]

I've shot them all but I like aluminums best.To me they are more forgiving and easer to tune

[barley40]

Sometimes even tho we tred the trad road we stray off the path. Wood for me, even though I have all kinds in my arrow rack, it's usually wood shafts in my quiver.

I wanted to see the results so I voted {other} on account of my new fangled fiberglass arrows. I originally made a few for my old Fathers light weight bow thinking they could not be tossed out of higher poundage bows. I was wrong and wrong about the poll. I would have guessed wood would come in on top. Wood, carbon, aluminum or fiberglass, just depends on what I feel like slinging.
