I buy them by the hundreds whenever really good ones come my way. It is difficult to find high poundage (75/80+) in 11/32 these days; but fortunately we can get Doug Fir from Surewood, 11/32 in pretty much any #.

In the early 1970's Acme POC shafts were $28.00 per 100. I bought 500 shafts and thought I had spent a lot of money.

Fast forward 35 to 40 years, now shafts are $280 per 100 and Acme is outta business.

Sure had a lotta fun shooting and using up 400 of those POC arrows.

I am down to my last 100 and I dread trying to replace them....

Maybe I will check out Kustom King shafts???

Guess I am gonna keep using Easton aluminums and maybe some Surewoods as well.

Give Wapitti Archery a try. They make tapered ceder shafts. I have used them and find them to be of high quality.

I bough about 300 hundreds few years ago from Cedarsmith in Montrose,Co.The guy moved and sold his business,they were first class shafts.
Right now I would give a try to Nocking Point.

Are not all of the dealers selling Rose City shafts when they are selling cedar? I always thought they all got the same stuff - and the least expensive "Rose City dealer" was the way to go (not saying a dealer you mentioned isn't the least expensive)
