Getting back into archery after a 5 year layoff now that my two boys are wanting to get into the sport. After getting both boys Bear compounds for Christmas, they are hooked. Made me realize how much I missed shooting. My interest is mostly traditional having shot long bows, flat bows, recurves as well as made several self bows. My favorite weapon is a 55# recurve at 27"s made by Robertson Skybow. Guess the peak of my traditional experience was taking a turkey with this bow 5 years ago. Not even sure why I stopped shooting and hunting other than with with kids and their activities, it is easy to get pulled in other directions.

We are hoping to travel down to south Texas this February for a pig hunt. I have always shot cedar arrows in my traditional setups. Curious to know if you guys are using aluminum or carbon for your traditional hunting arrows. Totally new to carbon so I have no clue. If either is better suited for hunting, which would you use? If so, what spine or size would be a good starting point for a 55# recurve? Thanks for any help.
