Larch shafts...

Who shoot them or have shot them? What do you like/dislike about them? I want to get new arrows, and I shoot a NM Classic 65#@29 with 145grn points, FF skinny. And a R/D LB, cut to center, 70#@30, FF skinny, with 175 points.
I would like to have 10-12 gpp total arrow weight.
What do you guys think??
Cheers
David

The only ones I like equally as well are tamarack! Ok, just being funny since they are the SAME thing.
I think this is about the perfect arrow wood. very similar to Doug Fir but denser.

How does the weight compare to ash? I have some ash arrows that come in around 750 gns with a 160 grizzley.

Chuck, I guess I will know soon enough... From what Jonathan(kootenairiverarchery) wrote me, a 30" shaft 75-80, would be around 530 grn(shaft only), so had to that 145grn head so 675grn, plus sealer, feathers, nock... so probably around 685grn for a total arrow weight?!?
bamboo, 12 gpp would be great!!
Steve, Larch/ Tamarack, and one for your french speaking friends, Mélèze, one of my favorite tree!!
Thank you all for the replies.

I like them and just bought some for my Grandson in 50-55#. Got them at Raptor Archery, call Ted Fry (sponsor).

They are a little heavier than spruce, distinctive grain, tough, and straight grain.
