looking for good, custom cedars
« on: March 09, 2011, 06:01:00 PM »
i know there are a few reputable builders out there.  which one have the best arrows..anybody can make em purdy, but im loooking for good spine/weight tolerances and durability.  i chose cedar because of the lighter weight..not to keen on heavy arrows..yea, yea, i know the spill on the heavy/liht debate.

the bow i want them matched to is a big jim one pc..54@28 drawn to 26.5.  what spine do i need..55-60??

i have never tuned wood arrows and dont have any to test.  this is where i hope experience comes in and im sure the builder will help as well.

so...show me some purdy shafts to pass the time  :bigsmyl:  ...and reccommend an arrow builder.

Longbow or recurve I would think ya need at least a 28" bop arrow and with a 125 grain point I would say 60-65 if a recurve cut past center. Shawn

Would second Paul Jalon.  My friends Dave Wallace and Randy Irvine are shooting them and they shoot well for me when I tried them.

Suzanne St Charles has produced some of the portorford cedar arrows for the last 30 plus yrs and can be found at NWArchery site or wooden arrow at aol. Cant recommend her enough, best wishes.

The best arrows I ever bought were from Wildcat Canyon. Not sure if they are in business anymore.RC

For cedar arrows, both shafts and ready to shoot, I recommend RMSgear.com. They match their arrows to tighter specs than most other sellers. They have sold me several sets that were matched to 1# of spine. Give them a call and see if they have what you need.
