Match for Chundoo?
« on: February 25, 2007, 07:06:00 PM »
Here's my dilema. At the Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt, I recieved some awesome 23/64" chundoo arrows from Huntrdfk. My problem is, I know that Chundoo is becoming harder to find, so I'm going to save this limited supply arrows for backyard targets and the ever-approaching turkey season. That leaves stumping, which I do alot of, and break a few arrows in the process. So, what's a good arrow material that's similar in specs to chundoo, but easier to get a hold of. I'm guess doug fir fits the bill, but I know there are a lot of you out there with alot more knowledge on wood shafts...

Bowspirit,
I shot chundoo exclusively about 7-8 years ago for a couple of years.  I know there might be someone out there to disagree with me, but I found it very similar to POC.  It is slightly heavier and seemed just a little stronger.  But as far as a shaft to work with, weight and shooting cedar is the closest and sitka would follow behind that.  I like fir but don't think it's a substitute for good chundoo.  dino

Dean,
Really? That's interesting. I mean, when I first got it, it seemed pretty far off from cedar. Course, that's probably cause my experiance to wood shafts is pretty slim...

Bill,
you can bet as soon as I'm done here I'll PM you...
