        Question forthose who have worked or shoot tamarack shafts.

        How is Tamarack compared to P.O. Cedar?
        Is it medium weight similar to Doug Fir?
        How strong is it to breakage?
        Does it stay straight?
        Do they take to stain well?
        How are they as a hunting arrow?
        Any suppliers of Tamarack shafts? Where can I buy them?

        I have not tried Tamarack, but after reading some of it’s use and history I’d like to give them a shot.

        Thanks in advance….

          Hey Steve, I suspect that if you’d bop this question over to “Bowyer’s Bench” forum you find a lot more focused and experience audience. The search for viable alternatives to cedar has definitely found its time, for better or worse. dave
