My bowhunting friend mobow hooked me up with shafts, nocks, points and feathers so I am in the process of putting together my first 6-7 wood arrows in POC. What is your favorite shaft material: POC, Douglas Fir (same as Sitka Spruce?) or other. And where do you purchase your raw shafts and why (Price, Service or ?)
Thanks. So far I have spray painted 8" white caps and finished with 4 coats of Wipe-On Polyeurathane. 1 coat Poly, caps over that, then 3 coats of Poly to complete the sealing. Just waiting for the taper tool and need to finish my homemade arrow spinner, which I thought would be cheaper than purchasing one...by the time I'm done, my "custom-made" beauty will be a few bucks more...but I made it myself. A few skateboard wheel bearings (see the video on youtube, re: homemade arrow spinner), some nuts, bolts, washers, brass sleeves to go between the bearing and the bold-axles and I think it's going to work just fine.
