Ash, maple, and birch all get my vote as top hunting arrows. Douglas fir, Western larch, and Alaskan yellow cedar get very close runner-ups. [:-]

I sent you some. Shoot ' em for awhile. Draw your own conclusions
I have, hence my comments. []

Good point Jeff, but a bent shaft is a bent shaft. I know...I know, even ICS carbons will bend...but when they bend they have broken carbon fibers. Is that necessarily the case with the ACC?

ACC, Yes they bend but as Jeff B said, not as easily as aluminum. Straight and very durable. For me they have held up better than my goldtips. The gold tips explode, for the most part, when I accidentally miss the target the matrix only bends if it hits something very solid, tree, metal fence post, wire etc.

I like my gold tips. Last year shot the 3d pros but are going to use the gold tip " traditional" carbons this year.
