Me.  Cedar exclusively.

Because it's what I started with and haven't seen a need to change.

P.O. Cedar.

what is POC ?

I shoot all three, but prefer wood for hunting for a number of reasons, to include more forgiving, quieter, proper mass and better long and short range accuracy. Better long range because of proper FOC, and better short range because I shoot tapers and they recover better. I too loved POC when acceptable wood was available. Now it's doug fir (surewood) tapered by Dave Doran at archery past.

Cedar ,just seems like the right choice for me.

I gave away  the last of my aluminum shafts a couple of years ago.  I like wood beause it is quieter.  Seems to absorb more sound from the bow when shot and doesn't rattle around in the back quiver.

I started out shooting wooden arrows, through the years I've tried different aluminums and carbons but have always come back to wood. I enjoy building them, its easy to get the finished weight I want, and I think they have more personality. As far as wood type I'm partial to Ash.

I will gladly raise my hand for this one.  It is one way for me to connect with the days gone by.  I have made and shot cedar, doug fir, poplar laminated birch and mohagony.  So far cedar is my favorite, with doug fir coming a close second.  I'm a newby when it comes to building them, but it is one very relaxing and enjoyable hobby.

I shoot DF and POC. Just love the romance of it I guess. Seem to be part of being a trad archer to me.

wood bow... wood arrows it just seems wright red oak poc and pine i shoot and break plenty i love making my own

[BCWV]

I started with wood quite a few years ago, went to aluminum, graphite, fiberglass and carbon.  

I've come full circle and will finish up my arrow flinging days with wood, fir, poc and ash.
An old archer friend of mine says only wood arrows have soul, he may be right.

I didn't know they made arrows that weren't wood.
It's the only choice. i love the time and effort put into a good set that shoots as well as anything else

I'm a wood only guy...it just feels right!  I've been shooting fir for the last few years.  I love the smell of cedar but it's getting hard to find quality cedar shafts.

Nothing but wood POC and doug fir just feels right

You can put me down as a wood arrow guy, too.  Wood has a life and spirit that other materials don't.  Their little quirks and challenges are just another part of the mysteries of archery and those mysteries are much of what makes archery so special.

Wood for me as well.I have been tempted though to try the others. Flint

[S.C. Hunter]

I shoot wood most of the time, POC for me. I have messed around with GT carbons and aluminum as well. I am now leaning toward wood only again. Wood was all I used to shoot is why I say again. The woods I get from Elite arrows are as straight as a arrow no pun intended. I agree with others they are quiet out of my bow and my shooting is better with wood.

[longarrow]

I didn't know they made arrows in anything but WOOD! No, if i'm shooting a traditional style bow, I'll stick with traditional type arrows. I enjoy making them, use several woods, mostly POC.

me doug fir.
