Two subjects; Shafts and Shoulder
« on: July 13, 2012, 06:47:00 PM »
Haven't posted in a long time.  

Sorry to be redundant if I am.  Search option doesnt work well for me.

In March I tore the two bicep ligaments / tendens from the shoulder bone.  Surgery 4 weeks ago and now PT.  I live in the house now pondering recovery and the future of shooting right handed. (no, wheels will not be an option).. Need a couple of encouragement experiances please.

Now. About the wood shaft issues:
In the last 10 years kids and life has kept archery at a minimum.  I haven't payed attention to the prices of shafts as I've had probably over a hundred in my supply that I have been living off of in the last 10yrs..  These 35-40 bucks a dozen is rediculous.  Im thinking about going back to raminn as I did have sucess with, though cedar was my favorite.  Im used to 50-100 cents a shaft.  Im not a tightwad by any means, Im just having a stroke over shafts prices.  Where in the He** can I find decent or close to decent bulk wood shating?  I had a feeling 20 yrs. ago this would happen but to ignorant to buy a lifetime stock pile.

Fellows thanks for reading my frustrations.

Ray: was the bicep injury in your bow arm or string arm?

camodadd.  I agree.  In 3-d I may can stomach 35 a doz.  But Im  also looking for shats in possible hard times.  Im not a survival nut but a couple hundred shafts would kill alot of meat.
