Well Folks, I just came in from the backyard archery range and I have to say: I am impressed! :eek: Let me begin by saying I have been shooting 60/65# POC's, Tapered Cedars and Tapered Sitka Spruce out of my 3 Mohawk Longbows.About a week ago I was cruising the Sponsor Classifieds and found Joe Loenzens Add.

He had a dozen beautiful Douglas Fir Surewood Shaft finished arrows in 60/65#'s. If you hit his add on the Classifieds they are the first ones still listed. Joe goes by jlnft here on Trad Gang. Well I wanted to try Surewoods for a while now so I bought them. I have to say I am impressed.

The only thing I do not like about them is trying to pull them out of my 3-D Deer target! I have to use 2 hands and some muscle. Unreal penetration.

Tom,

try spraying some silicone on the bottom half of them and it will make them easier to pull out of the target....course you have to hit the same spot each time to make full use of the silicone otherwise you will need to re-coat them periodically.. :-)

2 hands and muscle to get 'em out! Tom, you gettin' old on us? And you thought winter bow hunts were kickin' my butt?

Mudd Sponsors Classifieds. The title says sold but the pictures are still there. Under jlnft. Jerry, I can't believe the difference in penetration. The arrows actually go deeper than the Cedars and the Spruce. What gettin' Old 56 ain't old I don't think. I can still lick my weight in Bobcats. LOL! Thanks bentpole

bentpole · « **Reply #11 on:** March 27, 2011, 02:41:00 PM »

Pictures are in The Sponsor's Classifieds Topic starter is jlnft. The topic says SOLD but the pictures are still there. First dozen= 2 yellow hens and a yellow barred cock feather.

I saw those Tom! Beauties for sure!!

Thanks for holding my hand and leading me over there.

I sent Joe a pm letting him know how cool I thought his arrows are.

I appreciate you more than I can express.

Thank you!

God bless,Mudd

I have two dozen arrows from Joe he makes incredible arrows at a great price. I don't know how he feels about it but I consider him my arrow guy. And his arrows are sooo pretty.

Knapper · « **Reply #15 on:** March 27, 2011, 07:29:00 PM »

I was just looking for the raw shafts do you know who handles them?

Tom

Braveheart Archery also carries them, Ive bought a couple of dozen from them lately. Great service

I've been shooting 11/32" Surewoods that I taper the last 12" down to 5/16" nock. They fly nice and straight and recover so fast I can't spot the paradox wobble.

I have been shooting Joe's arrows for about 4 years. He is a great guy and his arrows are just awesome, not just form a decorative point of view, they are straight as anything and I'm convinced his arrows are the reason I tend to win gold at 3D events here in the UK.
