why wood?

[Davesea]

I really like the HH quote, Thanks Rich.  I shoot a HH bow and don't take his advice lightly.  I even paint my arrow shafts similar to Howard's.  If you shoot like he did it is an easy decision to shoot all wood.  But until an archer attains a high level of accuracy and consistency s/he will burn through the wood arrows like kindling.

I prefer wood and like the fact that you have to be a better all around archer to shoot wood.  And I will only hunt and shoot 3Ds with wood.  But when it comes to practice in the walk through I am using carbon right now.  This allows me to spend less time fixing arrows and more time flinging them.  

So until I get closer to Howard's skill level I will be shooting both.
