I use wooden arrows when I am pulling them out of the target and modern materials when someone else is. I don't have many problems with aluminium or carbon shafts.
Proper nock fit to the string is very important though. I have had more difficulties with tight nocks causing unstable arrow flight than stiffness of the arrows doing the same.

Thanks, Bede. I had just come to the conclusion about the nocks today.
I'm assuming a bit of sandpaper will do the trick there.
Having fun but need to find a good place to shoot. I've got a good earthen bank for a backstop at the house but only about 55 or so feet w/ a drastic change in elevation.
