Do you use them? Make'em, love'em, hate'em? I've used carbon for my recurve for quite a long time, and for the most part they worked really well.

When I was putting together the mountain goat hunt (had a grizzly tag too) I decided to build something a bit more intrinsic to the upcoming adventure. I had a bunch of bamboo shafts in my closet so went about putting some woodies together- and a nice chunk of rosewood was just screaming to go along. A fair bit of work but I like the results and they fly very well. I ended up with 32" finished arrows that weighed in at nearly 800 grains (including a 160 gr broadhead) . Quiet, flys flat and true to 25 yards then goes rainbow trajectory after that.

Thats extremely nice. I use bone on some cane arrows. Lots of work. Not near as nice looking as yours.

Excellent work! I've used them before, but mine didn't look nearly so good and were too dang much work. I like Bohnning Classics now...
