Carbon is good as they are tough and available with very little work.

However. I shoot trad mostly. Some of my arrows are mad from Rivercane or tonkin cane. They are natures carbons and I believe actually tougher than carbons.

OK OK noone get excited ... I'll explain.

I can shoot inside here at work. The building is steel. I have had a couple ...lets say not so great shots at distances. Out of a bow (I no longer own BTW) I've had two break on me hitting the steel wall. One broke in half andthe other shattered in front. With a bow with a higher draw wieght (70 in stead of 50) I missed a couple times with my cane arrows and hit the steel wall.They are fine and shootable still. So I believe they are more durable than carbons.

Of course they take a ton more work to get right to begin with. and I'mshooting them out of a trad bow ...
