I have fought with woodies for a while now. First issue was after buying some POC was durability or lack there of. I then got a doz shafts from Kootenai river about 7 month ago and they all held up great but I couldn't get them to fly as I built them myself and am not good at it yet.
So I have been shooting carbons and I LOVE how they fly. But I kept wanting some good woods.
I got ahold of Jonathan at Kootenai last Saturday and ordered a doz of his economy shafts. I told him my bow style and draw weight and let him go from there. A doz of his economy shafts all made up are only $55 plus shipping so I figured id go for it.
Well they arrived today!!! And they are great. Plus he sent me two of his "high bird" arrows which are western larch footed with ironwood, and talk about a hard hitter!!!
I am very impressed with the doz shafts I orderd a while ago and this dozen is even better as he made them up for me.
