Rogue River-where did it go?
« on: May 02, 2007, 06:43:00 AM »
I am not able to pull up a website. Would someone email me the address. I sure hope they are still there.
Thanks.

Paula and Cecil sold their equipment due to health reasons about a year + ago.  Sold to Wapiti Archery there in Grants Pass.  Their site is  www.wapitiarchery.com.   I haven't seen any shaft they have produced, but they have been selling some on an eb** store. din0

You need to get a hold of Wapati they weren't shipping 5 months ago. I ordered a dozen last week and got them in two days. They look pretty good. I have yet to finish them. I bought a dozen from Cecil and Paula just before they sold. They were straighter than the ones from Wapiti out of the package but the Wapiti shafts straightend up just fine with very little effort. I spin my shafts on an arrow spinner I'm picky about straight. I can ignore the last 3" of shaft since I cut it off so that gives me a little more tolerance in shaft selection.

Justin -- you're a pretty patient guy...if you ordered and paid for shafts and have waited 5 months, I'd say spend the quarter and call.

I'd be interested in hearing how these shafts are currently...RR tapered were awesome, I don't shoot wood often, but always thought of them first if I needed/wanted.

Thanks for the update. Too bad...
RR shafts at the right spine went into my target bareshafted like a dart, no nock left or right.
I've tried others and they just did not shoot as well.
We will give the new kids a try.

Redbow just received 6 dozen from Wapiti and did a comparison, old RRA premium vs. the new Wapiti bundles.  

The new Wapiti shafts were of the same quality and bit straighter than the comparison RRA shafts we had hoarded over the years. However the turn around time for tournament hand picked spine/grain group matched  shafts took a few months. I am quite sure that will improve as they create inventory to pull from.

Justin,

As suggested, I would give them a call and find out the status of the order.

I really liked dealing with Cecil and Paula. They were great folks to talk too. Has anyone heard how they are doing??? Never met them but I've talked their ears off a dozen times. Sure hope they are well.
