Ripforce: They’re mighty pretty, and I hope they stay straight. I’ve made five dozen wood arrows in the last two years, of cedar, pine and ash, and very few have stayed straight. Someday I’ll give them a try again, but I’ve bought a couple dozen aluminum shafts to keep me shooting with confidence.
I got best results with P.O. cedar from Rose City, but they are fragile. Ash is heavy and durable, but they are the most squirrely, refusing to stay straight for very long. We have had an unusually humid and hot summer. Maybe the ones I have left will stabilize when the temperature and humidity go down this month, but when I head for the woods, I’ll be doing my best to quiet the clanking aluminum in my quiver.
