Back and forth between wood & carbon, but I've been shooting mostly wood this year.

I've been shooting carbon since 1999. I would like to give woods a whirl in the future but for now I'm still trying to master the whole trad thing so I'm holding onto the ease and simplicity of my carbons for now.

Mainly aluminum because they are cheap and super easy to tune and work with. I love wood too and will make and shoot/hunt with it in the future, but to me they end up being more expensive to cull through enough to wind up with a quality batch of arrows. Haven't gave carbon a fair chance, needing an arrow saw to tune is a turn off to me. But won't rule them out in the future. They present the opportunity to use some broadheads that I would liketo use but would make total arrow weight heavier than I want with aluminum.

Carbon. They are cheap because I rarely break one and they don't bend, and they shoot very well for me.

Have both, prefer wood and use it far more than carbon. My opinion, carbon is more consistent, but I think wood is quieter and I just feel it's what I should use with my Hills and other longbows. I also make my own woodies and therefore am not concerned with losing them when stumping or small game hunting, lol! I do have a tendency to use carbon more often with Recurves, not really sure why.

I should add, I have a few boxes of aluminum, but they don't get much use.

I listed aluminum, but they are a mix (Easton FMJ's), so change the vote if necessary.

Your poll does not even come close for me...I shoot all carbon arrows, carbon wrapped in aluminum, aluminum and wood...when I get my FITA style hunting bow set up I will be shooting aluminum wrapped in carbon arrows...we live in a time with many great choices when it comes to arrows and it just seems foolish to me to limit oneself...they all have their place

I like wood, especially out of my Hill bows. Within my effective hunting range, out to about 20 yards, it is as accurate as carbon and looks a lot better.

I am surprised at the results of the poll . I would have thought that wood would have been much higher .
