How does it work with alloy shafted arrows then?

I would have thought, 'the same'?

I have 30" Easton 1916 Lite (ally arrows) to go with my 36#, 68" Hoyt
Gold Medallist (interNature limbs) and they seem to work ok.

If you hold them at the ends and flex them I'd say they feel quite
'flexible' (for something outwardly rigid). ;-)

I wonder how Robin Hood was so accurate just using bits if random twig
for arrows?

what evidence do you have to support this 'random twig' theory?

Well what else was there back in medieval times?

Even hunter gatherers make decent arrows. Much better than that in medieval
times.
