Douglas Fir for me mostly, Surewood Shafts is a great source. I get the "Hunter Grade" for a good price, haven't had to straighten one yet.

I still do 90% of my shooting with cedar, and it's my preferred wood. However, the Doug fir, Sitka spruce and some other wood shafting being produced now is definitely good quality stuff.

If I am buying new shafting Doug Fir is the way to go; but mostly I use cedar that I have stashed away over the years.

Douglas fir shafts for me, surewood is an excellent source, raw shafts very affordable.I have used both hunter grade and premium grade, not any problems with either.They ship them out extremly fast also.

Anybody who makes arrows using surewood shafts gets two thumbs up from me. Dave Doran from archery past makes the best version IMHO --tapered.

I have POC and douglas fir from Surewoods. The Surewoods are great shafts, straight and tough but I still keep coming back to the POC. I have a few dozen stashed away and I pick up more when I can from old stashes people sell. Wapiti archery does an awesome tapered cedar shafts. I would recommend anyone looking for cedar to try them.
