Arrow recovery from paradox?

I have been working on tuning some wood shatfs to my Robertson Mystical.  My question is do wood shafts recover from paradox as quick as carbons or aluminum?  My carbons seem to fly like lasers, but I can see some wobble in my wood arrows.  I am determined to shoot wood and was just wondering if this is normal.  They are shooting good just seem to flex more than carbons.  Thanks.

They do not recover as fast as carbons.  May need to increase wood spine a little to get them shooting the same as carbons.

As far as paradox goes it would be difficult to try to match carbons.
Aluminum there isn't as much difference.
Of coarse the closer to center or past center the shelf is cut and a higher spine arrow will help reduce paradox also a very clean release.

There is no problems with a wood shaft going through paradox as long as it hits the mark. The problem occurs when the arrow is not properly tuned (proper spine, proper length, proper pt. weight, etc) and then does not recover from paradox.

I always want my cedar arrows to be stable and have the feathers rotating around the nock by twelve yards.  On the short with Hill shooting the plate and apple off his buddy's head, the one with no sound, one can clearly see the his arrow paradox and then become perfectly stable.  That is always my goal.
