Best in a long time

[Terry Lightle]

Every year I build a dozen new arrows mount broadheads and go shoot them.Without fail there will be anywhere from 3 to 5 that do not hit where I look consistently.Earlier this year I called David Lawson at Wilderness Arrows and started buying raw shafts from him.Built my arrows mounted broadheads like every year and shot them just now.Got 11 that hit exactly where I look and the 1 I culled hits about 3 inches high and 2 inches left.I am thrilled with the shafts that I am getting from David.

Terry youve hit on a subject that is often overlooked by a lot of folks that shoot wood shafts, culling is a fact of life, when shooting woods, just because you receive "X" amount of shafts, doesnt mean they will all perform the same.
Ive never tried Mr. Lawsons shafts, but after the good reviews, he is for sure on my call list for my next order.

Terry, thank you for the kind comment. Whether it's shafts or completed arrows I always go through and straighten them. In the case of making arrows I will check for straightness throughout the whole process. I think with wood shafts, being as they aren't sealed, sometimes when they arrive at their destination they may have taken on more or less moisture from the humidity difference. Not always the case of course...but it does happen.
The other thing is when you start out with a high quality shaft, like what Surewood Shafts is putting out, it makes my job a little easier!
