Who offers the best tapered shafts out there?
« on: April 17, 2012, 09:07:00 PM »
As you can tell by my not so recent posts, I've been out of the trad loop for a little bit. Im starting to get back to it now that I'll finally be settled down in the next month or so. I'm looking to build up a set of arrows for my widow, but its been so long since I built or ordered shafts I dont even know who's around or in the game anymore. Jim Curlee used to be the guy I bought most of them from, but is he still around? Any other good options? Looking for tapered POC.

I get finished POC tapered arrows from Jim Reebok at JM Traditions in PA.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

Wapiti archery used to be rouge river for cedar or hildebrand for Sitka spruce. Both are top notch.
Nothing ruins a good hunt like pulling the trigger

Not sure if Twig is still around but they are very good with their wood shafts. Nice and tight spine and weight.

Just received some perfect POC compressed/tapered cedar arrows from Wapiti. About 2-3 weeks out on finished arrows was my experience.

Why not taper your own. I built a simple jig for tapering the last 10" and it works great. I have tapered poplar and Doug fir shafts all with good results and it only takes a minute each or less for each shaft.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Nocking Point uses the best shafts for his tapered cedars.
