Title: Source for Sitka Spruce shafts
Post by: Dave Pagel on March 16, 2025, 08:25:00 PM

Does anyone have a source for good quality Sitka Spruce shafts.  The last I knew Hildebrand wasn’t taking orders and TrueShaft has been less than responsive to my attempts to purchase.

I can stay in the 10-11grains per pound with Sitka Spruce in some of my lighter longbow.

Kelly,

I am primarily looking for 55-60 shafts at least 29 1/2 BOP, but I can use some 50-55 too.

Roy,

That is the TrueShaft I have tried contacting repeatedly.

Thanks,
DP

Dave,  if you don't mind using 23/64 dia. shafts, Andy has the spines you're looking for in stock. Premium grade, he's sold out in Hunter grade.
I've used 23/64 in the past when I couldn't get 11/32 and I had no issues.
