Which is funny when you think about it, cuz Mythbusters had an episode a while back where they tested the penetration of a wooden arrow vs a stone-tipped arrow and found no difference whatsoever in penetration depth, only the width of the arrow's entry wound.

The type of wood being used plays a role in this I think. Different woods have different densities, denser ones are better for ballista arrows, while a featherwood one isn't going to do much good.
