Tapered Surewood Shafts
« on: April 07, 2009, 02:41:00 PM »
Does anyone sell tapered surewood shafts?  I have some parallels and they are nice, but I really like tapers so I can use a 5/16 Mercury nock.

Dave,        I'd be interested in in what you find out also-  I really like the surewoods but tapered would be even better.

I made one of the taper jigs like Rob DiStefano shows in the how to section and I get about 9" taper with it. Easy to make and I made mine with the files instead of the sand paper. Makes a good clean taper and very fast.
