RE: wooden or carbon
 

Thru my new zipper, I am using Gold Tip Traditionals with thier wieght system. Thru my Martin longbow and dreamcatcher, I shoot 2018 aluminums, and thru my new Osage selfbow, I just ordered some sitka spruce tapered shafts.

What day? ;)Some days I shoot wood. Some days I shoot aluminum. Some days I shoot carbon/glass composite. All-carbon arrows are too light for my tastes, at least without some substantial additional weight, like brass inserts and 160+ grain heads.

Only exception is, I never shoot anything but wood from my selfbows.

I shoot 50/55 ceder with my Hunter recurve and Longbow,but I shoot 400 beman clasics(carbon)with my PSE Kudu take down but now I think iam going with ceder with that too....

Currently shooting carbons, because at college don't have theresources to make my woods. But I am missing POC!

Alum's and carbons--gave up the cedars years ago

RE: wooden or carbon
 

Out of my own bows I just shoot wood. (Hexshafts to be exact, though there are a few cedars that I still shoot) Customers vary...many like the lack of maintainace that carbon affords....

POC with my longbow and selfbow. May compete a little with my recurve this year, plan on shooting aluminum through it if I do. Only reason is I got a deal on a bunch of aluminum shafting a week or two ago.

Carbon only for me.....I'm still a little too hard on arrows. :D
At the lower velocities these bows produce they can take a beating that's for sure. I haven't broken one yet. (Lost a couple :eek:;))

The recurves get a mix of things but, recently, I've been shooting aluminums more often. The longbow and selfbow get mainly wood, sometimes aluminum off the longbow.
