I am wanting to try out some Sitka and was just wondering who everyone would recommend.

Thanks!

Lance,
I believe "Lost Nation" carries them.

Hildebrand Arrows. They buy the soundboards that Steinway rejects because of pitch pockets or knots. They cut out the flaw and make arrow shafts. Piano grade spruce is the best you can get! I am a piano dealer and have been around pianos all my life. Now that said, I don't know anything about the spruce these other people sell. Might be as good, but I would find it hard to believe that it would be better.

go to hildebrand shafts... Neil and Roxanne are great guy and great products... I believe raptor archery, foxfire archery and possibly lost nations are all distributors of the hildebrand shafts.

Neil Hildebrand makes darn near all of the spruce shafting out there right now.  You can buy from him direct or one of the shops that distribute them.  3R, Raptor, Foxfire, LN and I'm sure that there are more.  Neil makes some awsome shafting and a down right nice guy to talk too also. dino
