Wood for everything actually,just selected carbon for target because it wouldn't let me submit without choosing something on the second question......

Yep, same as varmint. I don't use carbon at all.

I shoot wood out of my Owl Self bows.  I do not have a preference on the type of wood.  With my  recurves and longbows I use wood, aluminum, and carbon.  My favorites are Easton Legacy, CX Heritage and Alaska Grizzly Stiks.

I can't vote, 'cause I use both wood and carbon.  Depends on which bow I'm shooting.  I like tapered cedars for wood, and Gold Tip traditionals or Carbonwood Vapors for carbons.

Cody....you didn't put aluminum in your poll.

I like aluminum for my recurve.  I used them in the late 60's into the late 80's until I went to wood.  I've gone back to aluminum for the recurve bow.

I shoot wood mostly on my longbow, but that's because that bow likes them better 8^).

Aluminum almost exclusively. Guess I can't take your poll   :banghead:

Cody, you need to rework your poll. For all of us using wood only, the poll won't let us vote because we didn't put anything in for carbon arrows.

Can't vote on the poll, I use wood for everything hunting and target, never shot a carbon
Title: Re: What Arrows do you used
Post by: WildmanSC on February 15, 2008, 10:49:00 AM
I shoot carbon only, Carbon Express Terminator Lite 45/60s, with a 125 gr point.  I use them for both hunting and target, even though the poll forced me to select wood for target.    :confused:    :mad:

Your poll didn't work for me either because I only shoot wood arrrows.  Don't own carbon arrows and rarely see them.  Unless it's with a "wheelie" bow.  :(

Carbons and woodies.  Carbons most of the time.  Like to shoot and they are pretty darn indestructible.

Post by: dakota tim on February 15, 2008, 11:53:00 AM
Woodies!!!  They're so much fun to make that my 13yr. old just started building his own.

I have no interest in making my own carbon or cans!

Hi Cody,  I'm in the same boat as several others. I use wood for all my shooting.
Title: Re: What Arrows do you used
Post by: 2-BIG on February 16, 2008, 07:40:00 AM
I use mostly wood but on occasion I use some old aluminum for small game.

I still have some aluminum and wood arrows, and they do get shot some, but the majority of the time, I am shooting carbons.  I really like the CE heritage arrows.  They are tough, heavy, straight, and I think they look good.

Post by: Dave Lay on February 16, 2008, 08:57:00 AM
tried to take the poll, but have never used a carbon so couldnt answer #2 and it kicked me out.  For me its woodies and aluminum, no desire to shoot carbon.

never shot carbons, but also shoot aluminums quite a bit along with wood.

Aluminum..........

Post by: snag on February 16, 2008, 03:09:00 PM
I'm an equal opportunity archer. I love making wood arrows and how they shoot quietly. Aluminum is consistant and I like the ease of tuning and weight. Carbons are next! Just got some CE Heritage. I think with 11gr per inch and the look of wood they will work well.

Solid fiberglass for fish, wood for small game, and carbon for everything else.

Wood for everything but fishing.
