I shoot both wood and carbons, have tried footed shafts and dont find them any stronger than any other wood shaft just prettier. My carbons (Gold Tip Blems from Big Jim) $42.99 a dz are extreme FOC I ordered them extra stiff and fitted them with a 100gr brass insert, 8 gr lock washer and 190gr tuskers they hit exactly where my 200gr field tips do. As for wood shafts the best I have found is Sitka Spruce from the Hildebrands here in WA…Paul
