Looking somewhere to buy arrows or shafts made of ash

Raptor Archery  is where I get My Ash shafts from.

Allegheny Mountain Arrow Woods is another choice for ash.

i 2nd allegheny mt arrow woods. Top quality and great service. Ash is tough stuff too great for knocking around stumping

Yup got some Hickory shafts from Allegheny Mt arrow woods, excellent to deal with.

I don't know the difference between my ash and a hole in the ground. What makes ash better than say POC?  I'm just assuming it's heavier and stronger.  Is this correct, and is there other benefits?

[jsweka]

Grapes - Yep, that's pretty much it. Heavier and stronger.  If you do a lot of stump shooting or 3D shooting, a dozen ash shafts will last you a lot longer than a dozen POC.  The only downside to ash is that it does require more attention to straightening than POC.

Raptor is the place for me. Ted is a sponsor.

I still have some ash arrows I made in 1998. I got the shafts from Allegheny Mountain Arrow Woods. Ash is tough. That's why spear shafts were made from ash in Ye Olde Tymes.

I got mine from Allegheny Mountain arrow woods, i thought they were nice shafts, Raptor archery also sells them.

[LeverActionman]

Thanks for all the help.I am trying to get some for hunting I really like a heavy arrow.

I went through a love affair with ash arrows because of their strength and weight but fell out of love with them after a few years because of the difficulty of keeping them even close to straight.

When you get a dozen shafts you will have a handful of snakes. Lots of heat and time will straighten most of them but mine had a tendency to return to their natural, snakey ways.

LAM, What spine and how heavy an arrow are you wanting to find?

[Onehair]

I have a dozen 60# tapered shafts That I may post for sale in a few days.

I found the secret to keeping ash straight is a good penatrating sealer. I use multiple coats of Tru Oil. Poly just stays on the surface and moisture will eventually get in.

I second the tru oil and ash....or watco "teak oil"....all work helping keep them straight. Great arrow wood, and they penetrate all day long. Bill at allegheny mtn arrowwoods also sell 5/16" parallel hickory shafts...a good alternative, which I have recently explored...great stuff..
