Arrows

[bownutts]

I love my custom bows made in USA WHY NOT Arrows do you buy foriegn ammo

[m midd]

Nope, Eastons and surewoods

[bigbadjon]

Easton and poc for me. However I do try to judge a product by its quality rather than its place of orgin and foreign goods still employ the Americans who sell them.

I am  NOT  above using Ramin Wood Shafts from Craft Stores, Walrus T World, or any LumberYard/Hardware Store!! I do like POC and Aluminums as Well.

Beman MFX made in the USA!!!

I buy Easton aluminum shafts and build them into arrows.

I just thought of this. Does any foreign company manufacture aluminum shafting to be made into arrows besides Easton?

In my experience, you can judge quality by point of origin.

Surewood Shafts---grown in Oregon, made in Oregon, and in my case, made into arrows and shot in Oregon.

POC is all I shoot

Had a similar conversation with a guy at work today. Bought a crkt knife a few years back thinking they were made in the U.S. On one side of the blade it said Taiwan. Threw it in my pack as a backup and has become the best skinner I ever had. Kinda bittersweet.

People everywhere need to work, I suppose...but I do try to buy Made in USA (or Canada, for preference Eh?) but its not always easy. Germany makes some good stuff too...

I'm not saying everything coming out of china or east asian countries is poor quality, but the driving force behind shifting manufacturing there is cheap labour, not higher quality. I guess it's somewhat our own fault...we have so much STUFF in this throwaway culture of ours, and every day we throw stuff out and buy new stuff...and when you're living like that, you need things to be CHEAP instead of high quality.

Unlike some industries, it seems you can still buy American/Canadian for most stuff in trad archery (bows, arrows, feathers etc.) I try to do so when I can.
