Check with Andy At “Addictive Archery”. I know he used to build them years ago.

I make my own.  I got a couple dozen out of some straight grained poplar recently, then footed them with Padauk.  They spined 60/65.

I could have sworn i already answered this.....

Andy Ponce is a friend of mine i've known for about 15 years.
I met him while shooting the first long bow i ever built at a 3D shoot. He was instrumental on developing my shooting form too. I shot 3D with him and his family for years.  I used to save scrap hardwood for him when he got into building footed shafts years ago.......

I don't think he is  selling footed shafts any more though. i looked at his web site and there was no listing. Andy is a great guy...

Btw.... I wasn't aware "the Footed Shaft" was a sponsor, or have i ever seen his work. Do you have photos of some of their stuff you can share?  I think footed shafts are very cool.... :thumbsup:     Kirk

Man makes a recommendation based on his positive experience and we are supposed to question it ? I don't get it.

Way to aggressive, this should be forum that members can answer a simple question freely based on their own personal experience. Especially without the threat of retaliation. Kirk absolutely no explanation needed here.

Saw that.  Thank you sir.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Those are some very cool looking shafts there brother…. Being a dyed in the wool wood worker, I’d really love to see photos of how you do that. I haven’t played with building woodies in many, many years, but never attempted building footed shafts.
