just wondering if anyone use wood shafts and if so do you make your own or do you order them ready made. Let here who your suppliers are. How about pictures of your wood arrows.

I make my own. Over the years I have used several different shaft materials, but now use Douglas Fir from Surewood and Sitka Spruce from Hildebrand. Check my website for some pictures. Feel free to ask questions.

I hunt with Bob Burton’s arrows http://www.whisperingwindarrows.com I buy split hex shafs from him & make my practice/small game arrows myself.

some of the best I’ve seen came from Wildcat Canyon in Colorado. Came out of the box straight and stayed that way. DD Quillian put me onto them and DD is very picky about his arrows.

I’ve shot cedar shafts from a number of different sources over the years.
Been reasonably satisfied,but I’ve been really picking up my game over the last few years and have come to belive that both my arrow building skills and my base materials also need improving.
So I’ve now decided to buy some hand selected,spined and wheighed Northern pine shafts from the fletcher “Little Johns” in the UK.
These shafts are hand spined to within 1LB,,wheighed to within 5grains,,,have near perfect grain with no run out at all,,,you can follow the grain from one end to the other in a dead straight line.
Their both heavier and stronger than cedar and come from slow growth Scots pine in Scotland.
It’s going to cost me,,,but the little spare money I have always goes on Archery or Bowhunting anyway,,,so what the heck,,you only live once.

I get all my shafts, feathers, nocks ect. from Allegheny Mountain Arrow Woods. Ive gotten ash shafts from them for the last 5 years and have been nothing but pleased. Bill is a great guy to work with, and i suppose it helps that his shop is only a half an hour down the road.

I used to use mostly cedar, but have switched to surewoods, which I get from our own “Fletcher” at the Feathered Shaft. I make my own; not that good at it, but I like making ’em! If I was going to buy finished ones though, I’d get them from Rick to… the man is an artist with the arrows.

Hello to everyone, I am new here.

In the past I have made some arrows from hardware store ramin for kids arrows to be used in bows under 30#, as well as 3/8″ poplar dowels for more serious arrows in heavier poundage bows, and have used mulefat willow found in riverbeds, rivercane with foreshafts, elder and a few other woods in some cases.

I have also made the more traditional cedar arrows that most people use in their recurves and laminated longbows. Recently I gathered up most of the tools I need to make good hunting arrows. The only thing I really want now for this is a good shaft planer.

I also buy from retail outlets when I want spined cedar and have bought custom made arrows a few times.

I have so many arrows now I am wondering how to store them all without wrecking them.
