Footed Shafts

I plan to pick up a dozen Footed Shafts when I get to Compton’s in a few weeks. I really think they are beautiful. Almost too good to use for hunting. But they obviously make for a better hunting shaft.

Who uses them? Any comments? Can anyone post pics of them? 🙂

Steve — I have a dozen gorgeous footed pine hex shafts from Whispering Wind Arrows in MT. I fleteched and finished them myself. They fly beautifully and all are straight. A friend bought basically the same shafts from the same place a year before and several were bent and he can’t get ’em straight. But forget about footed shafts adding much to FoC unless they’re built expressly for that purpose, which involves exotic woods and more $$$. I’d check The Feathered Shaft, which is Fletcher, who posts here and is a master arrowsmith. dp

Voodoo .. thanks for posting they’re pretty. I am hoping Whispering Winds makes it to Compton’s this year.

They are of great beauty, it’s almost unnatural to do that with wood, is there a little ‘voodoo’ going on here:?:

Well… I was able to pick up a dozen Footed Shafts from Surewood Shafts at Compton’s this past weekend. I went back to Doug Fir, I prefer the heaviness of Doug Fir over Spruce. I picked up a Doug Fir footed with Bubunga combo. I can’t wait to work on these, but I ain’t cutting or tapering nothing until this damn humdity breaks.

$110… big ones for shafts! I convinced the Mrs. these are strictly for hunting, no stump or 3D shooting with these expensive beauties. I will post pic’s when they are completed.

Steve…perhaps just a stump or two eh …
What about some pics ? Footed shafts laying across that Halfbreed would be a dang fine TBM cover…lol
