You will need a spine approx 10#'s heavier than you bow draw weight. Cedar and fir are my favorites for woods. Good luck and a speedy recovery from your tree stand issue.

Love my surewoods. If you search them you'll get lots of input. Great workability and durability. For me wood shafts just seem mystical.

Surewood Douglas fir or Sitka spruce from Hildebrand out of Washington state, download Stu's Dynamic Spine Calculator and dive in!

Wood is cool, and there is I think, a possibly higher satisfaction in taking a critter with a "home built" arrow but.............
they just aren't as durable, and a day of stump shooting or 3D can trash a lot of hard work.\\
Shooting 3D alone means carbons for me- I like to shoot the bowhunter and MBR stakes often

you can't go wrong shooting wood.it just feels right with my longbow.i shoot cedar.here latly i have been shooting bamboo and rivercane from my selfbows.bamboo really is natures carbon.very tough and forgiving.building your own arrows is alot of fun and very rewarding.good luck with the wood and good luck with your healing,steve

Get a 55-60,60-65,65-70 test kit. There is no diehard formula that works everytime. I highly recommend test kits. Ive got lots of POC laying around that didnt work to prove it!
