i bought a dozen LB shafts and broke one my first day shooting them. a friend just gave me some hickory shafts to try. in the meantime, the arrows i use are cedar. don

Maple and Yellow Birch.  I also really liked Lodgepole Pine which will be available again soon and i am going to make some Bamboo arrows here shotly.
