I shoot carbon shafts. I have hunted with wood, fiber glass, aluminum and carbon. I like to do alot of stump shooting and nothing has ever held up like the carbons for me. The only problem with the carbons is I can't use them as an excuse if I miss. I would do that occasionally with the woodys.

seriously front loaded carbons GT 5575 9.2 gram per inch 30" long with 400 grains in the head and right behind it.Total 680 grains out of a 63# longbow. just shy of 11 grains per pound of draw weight still giving me about 176fps. By the way 175fps is 120 mph just to let you know.I really sleepy right know but my calculations put that at about 50f/p KE. I think that makes this an every critter in North America bow and arrow combination.
