Title: Douglas fir ?
Post by: Day Dreamer on August 13, 2011, 11:52:00 AM: Lots of good reviews for surewood shafts. Unfortunatly their out of 60-65's. Talked to one of the quys @ surewood he said not any time soon.

Any other good sponsors that carry douglas fir shafts ?

Thanks

Post by: Mike Vines on August 16, 2011, 05:34:00 PM: I feel obligated to say that I'm sorry for (probably) being the cause of this. I bought a couple dozen to see how I would like these shafts as an alternative to cedar shafts (I have an alergy to cedar), and I liked them so much I bought 10 dozen of there "Hunter" grade shafts, made a bunch of arrows, then I ordered another 10 dozen because I love them so much. I'm probably good till this January or so, then I will probably order another 10 dozen for my Motor City Machetes.

Everybody has figured out that there is a better alternative (just my opinion) to cedar out there.

I have not yet broke one, and I have had some shots into rocks while hunting chipmunks that I just know the cedars I had would have been destroyed.

I can not say enough good things about Douglas Fir shafts. They are my choice from here on out.

Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on August 17, 2011, 08:55:00 AM: Sometimes if you check with Fletchers like Paul at Badger Arrow, they may have an extra dozen lying around they may be willing to sell you.
