1st choice:  Hickory - either 5/16 or tapered 11/32

2nd choice:  Laminated Birch

3rd choice:  heavy Hexpine

I'm interested in getting more experience with Doug Fir shafts, but it is limited at this point in time...I keep hearing good things about SureWood shafting....

1st Choice - Doug Fir
2nd Choice - Chundoo (if I can find it anymore!)
3rd Choice - P.O. Cedar
Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"
