Anybody building with Surewood?

[Iowabowhunter]

I'll likely always have carbon with me, but I do enjoy shooting woodies as well I just simply don't have the time with work travel to properly put together a full set of woodies.

Wondering if there are any builders you like that use Surewood shafts?

[frassettor]

I have used Surewood. Great shafts.

[58WINTERS]

Great shafts. I've built 2 doz this year. Carson Brown has great customer service will treat you right.

[jeffg]

The only shafts I use, for years.

Archery Past and Addictive Archery both make exceptional arrows using Surewood Shafts. All three companies are based in Oregon.

[Iowabowhunter]

Looks like Echo archery makes custom arrows from Surewood-any other folks build with Surewood?

[Walt Francis]

I build 6-10 dozen arrows with Sherwood shafts every year

Here are three dozen I finished gluing the feathers on last night.

Holy moly that’s a lot of arrows a year Walt. Great looking arrows! Do you use a tru taper?

[greyfoxden]

 Been using them for about ten years! tough shafts plus I get the weight I desire. Desert Hobo turned me on to them before I left AZ and I've been endorsing them in SW CO ever since

Suzanne St Charles at Northwest Archery  makes amazing arrows from Surewood shafts. If I’m not making them I get them from her .
Wonderful arrows from a wonderful lady

Just put in a other order last night! I've built 4 doz since starting to shoot wood last summer. In the 4 doz I've maybe straightened 5. All super high quality. (Disclaimer: I have no experience with any other wood arrows).

I use a Woodchuck tapering tool for the tips.  I pay the extra $8 to have Carson tail taper and do the nock end.  It takes me a hour to tail taper, angle the nocks, and sand then sand them.  It is well worth the money and his machine does it better than I can.

D&M Custom arrows also makes some great arrows.  I started building my own last season, and the dozen Surewoods I have from him gives me some inspiration to build fancier arrows!

[Herdbull]

I've been using tapered Surewood shafts fletched up by Chad Grahm from WUDARAZ. They stay straight.

Thinking of going the same route. If everything is the same except for the species of wood, do you notice a significant difference in the point of impact between the cedar and the fir?

[Dave Pagel]

I really like a Surewood.  I build a few dozen every year for myself and friends.  Good cedar is tough to find anymore.

I don't find any difference there, but I definitely find that doug fir is tougher than cedar, especially when stump shooting. I haven't broken a single doug fir shaft in the three plus years since I've switched.

I have several dozen that I have made over the years. I pay the extra like Walt and tail taper them. They are good quality shafts, straighter than anywhere else I've ever bought shafts and tougher than Cedar.  However, I still break several every year. I apparently over estimate my abilities too often.

[Wudstix]

I have 6-8 Surewood shafts laying around, sounds like I need to test them against tapered, footed Cedar.  Have one tapered, footed Cedar that has been through two 150#ish hogs and a javelina and still lives to fight.  I think the scary sharp 160 grain Snuffer on front has helped provide good pass through conditions.

I just talked with Carson yesterday wanting to get more 11/32 shafts. He is out of pretty much all spines in 11/32 . I’m hoping soon he will have some soon🤞. They are tough and  ery straight.

He said that he does have the 23/64 in though.
