"Sraight" is a somewhat relative term when it comes to arrows. To me, it means spinning the shafts in a ball bearing spinner and the tip does not roll around in a circle, even a small one. I have never found any Cedar, Douglas Fir or Sitka Spruce that came straight and stayed that way. While easy to straighten, these soft woods do occasionally need some "tweaking" to maintain straightness. It has been my experience that today good, straight Cedar is hard to come by while Hildebrand Sitka Spruce and even more so Surewood Douglas Fir shafts are excellent, requiring very little work.
