That Liberty Cheif Elite that Denny has, is a real purty bow !
Before this year it was a Bear Grizzly w/ wood arrows by me
This year a Martin Mountineer w/ wood arrows by me still  ;)  and some 125 snuffers.
Kinda intresting about the carbon arrows in the poll, looks like lots of folks use them.

Jerald,

I suspect that is because the carbon arrows are tougher than either wood or aluminum arrows and they provide the added benefit of recovering from the effects of archer's paradox much quicker than wood or aluminum.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

Mulberry selfbow and rivercane shafts with modified 160g grizzly heads to start. As soon as I am happy with my knapping, I'll mount some rock to them. Also maple self arrows in the wait.
 As far as carbon being the toughest shaft....I'd put rivercane up against them anytime! I missed a bag target because of a bad release recently and tagged a steel post. Only thing that happened to the arrow was a blunted field point and some ruffled feathers. All other arrow materials that have hit these posts have been rendered useless......Terry

Osage selfbow, cane shafts, Doug Campbell Damcus trade points for elk and deer, obsidian heads for deer.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I'll vary between a metal risered black swan with carbon arrows and an Owl bow with self nock arrows and a few that are in between in terms of "tech"

I can't vote on that one because I use all three types, just depends on the mood.

As for arrows.  Wood of course.  Hickory, Ramin, Bamboo, Rivercane, Poplar, Ash, Birch.  I haven't had time to make any from my IPE supply yet.
