Anyone used Bearpaw spruce shafts?
« on: October 22, 2012, 05:26:00 AM »
I'm putting together an order with Kustom King and came across these shafts. Wondering if anybody's had any experience with 'em.
Thanks in advance for feedback.

No experience with Bearpaw. However I have shot Sitka Spruce from Hildebrand and was happy with the results.

Don't confuse this with Sitka spruce.  It is not even close to the same wood or characteristics.  I bought a couple of thousand of the shafts from Germany a few years back.  There was a lot of scrap, knots, and diameter discrepencies.  Just poor quality. Spine was right on however. They were not through kustom king but from the same source as theirs come from. Hopefully they are sorting them. I'll never wast my time on them again. Dino

Thanks guys. Dino, that's some pertinent feedback. Think I've got what I was looking for.
