I haven’t got a chance to try them yet but, Surewood shafts are ed to be very good. They’re Doug fir. I understand they are very straight & consistent in spine & weight. They guys that run it are said to be good people to work with.

Hi, Cody… depends on what type of wood you’re looking for.

Cedar – Rose City
Doug Fir – Surewood Shafts
Laminated Birch – Alleghaney Arrow Woods
Chundoo – Twigg Archery
Spruce – Hildenbrand Shafts

ButchMo – I like your Jay Massey signature quote. Concise and so true!

Hi, Cody
If you’re thinking about wood, you won’t be complete until you try it. I’d start with a set of cedars first and then progress to the other types and start with premium shafting or arrows. Although the spine weight will be a personal choice dependent upon many variations of your style of shooting, you will no doubt receive beneficial knowledge from the provider of your arrows or shafts. Better still if you have access to friends or fellow archers who would be able to let you try different weights, spines, wood type to obtain a benchmark from where to begin your quest. Once bitten by the wood bug,you will begin a lifelong search for that perfect wood arrow. It is said that bamboo is nature’s carbon, and on it goes… Good luck.
