Plywood is mother nature's composite. We used wood this year for budget reasons. Birch plywood is strong stuff. As mention above 9 ply Baltic birch is amazing stuff. Be careful of home center plywood. The inner layers are a low density filler wood. Not as strong. We used a piece of 1/4" this year with a layer of s glass on each side. Our shooter is a 3/4" birch box. We'll see how it holds up this weekend.
