3 rivers pre-finished shafts
« on: December 28, 2007, 08:59:00 PM »
I always shoot wood arrows from Wildcat Canyon.
 I love them Milt makes great arrows, but I was
 thinking of getting some of these shafts just
 to mess around with. Does anyone have any experiance with them?

I picked some up late this summer. I retuned my bow and needed some arrows but didn't have time to make them myself.

I was really impressed with them. They're not custom made but the finish and fletching is really good and they're nice and straight.

I have made arrows with them, there nice shafts. That is how i started out making arrows by just putting feathers on those shafts. It's a good way to gain experience then you can expand from there.

They were the first wood shafts I got, and I was extremely pleased with them. Like Trad Kid said, they are very straight overall, and have a awesome finish on them.

Got an 8 pt. with one this year! That says it.

 Easy Peasy. . Taper the end and put your broadhead on, glue a nock, 3 fletches with tape and your off hunting. Worked for me.

I found my first batch were the wrong spine so I sent the remainder back and got credited. Now I know what will always work in my 7 Lakes Longbow.

If you want to pretty them up a little, they look good with some tradgang wraps on them. I have some on mine.

O.K. I will be different on this one , good shafts but the ones I got where 100 grs in weight different.I checked them on a digital scale and have seen this more than once. I just sorted them out , half lite ones and half heavy. They are good shafts overall .  Drew

I kinda like the pre-finished shafting from 3 Rivers. Being new to this woodie stuff makes it easy for me. Can't tell ya if they all are close it grain weight but they are straight. Tapers are on the money and they take to a Woodsman Broadhead great!

Thanks for the info!!!! Mark I have been good, it
has been a great year!!!
Milt can be reached at 970-247-2894. He makes
an awsome arrow and is an even better guy. I have
shot his arrows for 4 or 5 years!!!
