Surewood Steve's Doug fir....Pagel hit the nail on the head. Matched in spine and weight, very straight and consistent.

I am impressed with the western larch from Kootenai River archery. They stain well, stay straight, and are very tough. When you shoot like I do, tough is an important attribute. I have POC, ash, doug fir, and the western larch and the larch seems to work best for me. They are a tad heavier than doug fir and fly nice out of my Hill style bows.

It easy to get near perfect shafts already tapered, spined and weighed from Surewood and others, so that cuts down on how much equipemnt needed. I rely on my arrow roller for the accuracy of my arrows down the road and for mounting heads. I like making my own and rotating nocks when I play with three fletch. Any body can do it, nothing fancy, but accurate and a few bucks cheaper than the custom boys. The most important thing when ordering shafts or custom arrows is to be deadly accurate and honest about the specs you give them. Remember that the shot does not begin until the string leaves the finger tips. When I make arrows for my friends that draw length versus release length is always an issue. If I were to trust them, most of the time I would be making arrows to stiff and too long.

I haven't used them (yet), but Wapiti bought out what was the finest Port Orford shaft maker I ever knew (Rogue River Archery).
Making your own arrows is like making your own strings...if you have the money for the initial investment, and the time and information it takes to do it right, it can be a great hobby. That being said, I have a buddy that has made mine for me the last several years--he does a much better job than I, and I just don't have the time to do it right.
