JMO - Carbons shoot more consistantly and penetrate better. Put some weight tubes in them and they' ll out penetrate any other arrows of equal weight and head. Why ? I dunno, but they do. They' re either broke or straight, no bent shafts or warping.

That said, wood has a quality that makes them maybe quieter to shoot, and they feel good to shoot. Much satisfaction in making them too.

I hunt with carbons, play around a lot with woods. Both have their place.
