Wood arrows will tend to be a little haevier thatn the aluminums

They are also not as straight but can be straightened with a minumum effort.

Rule of thumb for trad bows is that you use a spine of 10 pound more for use with broadheads than for your target arrows.

I use both alluminum and woods with my trad bows and really don't see much difference between them except that the alluminums I use are smaller in diameter that my woods an fly a little more consistantly.

I tend to use woods for practice and 3-D and alluminums for hunting
