They seem to be more popular than ever with trad shooters, but I still prefer POC. I' ve shot carbons, aluminum, and umpteen different types of wood, and always find myself going back to cedar. Carbons do have advantages--consistent, straight or broke, matched from one doz to the next, etc., but to me they just lack the character of wood. Then again, I' ve never been accused of being real smart! [X(]
