Do you shoot as well with primitive arrows?

David Long:
As compared to spiffy modern carbon or aluminum arrows, do you shoot as accurately with your shoot or other wood shafts? Given that each wood shaft is unique and different form the others, I would think this is difficult, but doable with great care and patience in the making of the shafts. True?

we do hunt with them to kill humanely, so they are very good if shot and made correctly

Kegan:
Mhmm. But my best arrows aren't primitive, but hickory I cut up with a table saw and doweled with a power drill. Selfnocks, trade points, and tied on fletchings, they fly with pin point accuracy out to 45 yards (that's as far as my bow can shoot them on the level). Actually, even my extremely crude and mismatched sourwood shot well out to about twenty yards. They all shoot better than I ;D!

huntertrapper:
there ya go. my trade points can can hit a small leaf at 15 yards. i have to be able to shoot well though also.

mullet:
  My bamboo and cane arrows I hunt with were made by Art Butner and Chris Cade. I'd call them some of the best "Matched" arrows I have. And I've been offered more money for them ,then some of the best Carbon arrows cost.
