Only wood for me.  I just can't force myself to shoot aluminum or carbon from a longbow.

I chose carbon, which is what i shoot most of the time. I do make my own sitka spruce arrows though and shoot them from time to time.

I went full circle from hardware store arrows as a kid to aluminum in my late teens and early 20's then carbons back about 10 years ago, now all I shoot is woods that I craft myself.  I have even got my sons started in making their own also.
