The idea of shooting carbons on my lighter draw weight longbow has been working on my mind. I know that in the IBO Trad LB division anything other than wood is forbidden. But, at fun and club shoots I see a ton of longbow shooters shooting 3 fingers under and carbons. These shooters are scoring very well and for me 3 fingers under sighting down the shaft is 100 times easier to shoot with pinpoint accuracy than split finger and instinctive or gap shooting.

I see threads on longbow hunters using carbons and there is little doubt that carbons have several advantages over the other shaft materials out there. What does the board think of traditional equipment launching high tech shafts?
