the only good wood is straight wood with a finished arra mass weight at 10ggp or more.  my wood shaft of choice these dayze is surewood doug fir.  i get the premium 11/32" at 360-370 grains raw shaft weight and that will yield 29.5" arras w/125 gran points that weigh 550 grains, or 600 grains with a nail footing.

How exactly do you do the nail footing and how much will the spine be affected?
