I shoot woodies too. I play around with al. and carbon, and they shoot well, but wood just has a magnetism that will not turn me loose.

I shoot wood too.  I like Douglas Fir, Chundoo, and S. Spruce.  I also like aluminum and some carbon, but there is just something about making, shooting and hunting with your own wooden arrows.....   ;)

I just started shooting Surewood douglas fir and I really like them.  Going to run them for elk this fall.  Might switch back to carbon after the season since they are much lighter, but boy I'm having fun with these.

If I had not met Green, I would have probrably never known the joys of wood arrows.  I would also still be content the mediocre tuning I get out of carbons.

Wow, some great looking arrows here! I just ordered a dozen woodies from Mr. Jalon at Elite Arrows. I'll post pics when they arrive.

After finally shooting a few wood arrows that I bought off this years auction, I just ordered two trial arrows from snag.  I think I am hooked for life.

Problem is how does one choose from his options, WOW!

Re-discovered woodies this year for all of my shooting. In the past, I'd shoot carbons for 3D season and then convert and hunt with wood, but this year I've begun to shoot wood for everything.

Since 1975 I've shot wood and aluminum both. I've always thought that a good quality tapered wood arrow is the most forgiving shaft material, still today.
