TW 260 barrel tapered cedars- help please
« on: February 07, 2016, 02:23:00 PM »
I have a dozen of these new in the package that are 29 inches long. I'm looking for the maker and what they are worth as I want to sell them. Thanks!

I am not familiar with "TW 260" cedars.  Are these just the wood shafts or completed arrows?

Quality old cedar shafts are sort of rare and somewhat expensive ($30-40 a doz) while the same in finished arrows can sell for a hundred or more.

Of course, spine weight is a factor too.  Being 29", I assume these are finished arrows, right?

Lon, these are shafts in a plastic pkg. In the middle of each shaft is  printed identically TW 260.

Sorry, but a mystery to me.  

You could put your topic in the "Pow Wow" forum since it gets more readers.  I bet someone comes up with an answer.

Shoes,
Those shafts are Super Cedars and were made by Tallahatchie Woodworks and sold by the late Dan Quillian. They called them cedar put I think they are actually poplar or something like that. The 230 is the shaft deflection so they will have about 100# spine. I have some 230's that Dan sent me several years ago that I have not used. Have not had much use for 113# spine shafts. They were a bit spendy if I remember correctly.

The superceder shafts were great  IMO. Good quality wood with nice tapers. The material is Magnolia and pretty sturdy. Hard to find now.
