Arrow shaft woods
« on: July 23, 2009, 06:42:00 PM »


This chart was posted on another part of this site. I thought it was very informative and worth sharing here as well.

So this is why I love douglas fir shafts so much. It is a great alternative to POC. Fir is, on the average, a little heavier, has good durability and reacts well when shot out of a bow.

Has anyone ever tried white pine shafts?

I'd also love to try some rock maple shafts too.I've been told they're some of the best wood for an arrow.

Snag.. I agree. Always loved Doug Fir. I got a dozen bare shafts drying from a 3rd coat of poly right now. My hunting arrows for this fall! They take stain beautifully. And penetrate harder than cedar or spruce.

Thanks for the table of data Snag!

My absolute favorite is still - hickory!

Shoot straight, Shinken
