For years I hunted exclusively with wood shafts. This sika stag was the last animal I took with a wood shaft and that was about 3 years ago. Lately I started making up a couple dozen new woodies and may go out at the end of this season sporting a woodie and ribtek.

I love sharing this pic it is from 2011. My first self bow and arrows.

Nothing fancy but it shows what can be done.

Man! I hate to follow the last few posts with these . . . .

I tried compound with aluminum back in the early 80's, but all of my hunting success has been with wood shafts,

OK, that last one is a stump. But it was my FAVORITE stump where I used to hunt that is now sadly part of a hunting lease.

As far as set-up. Martin Dreamcatcher 55# and Port Orford cedar 65-70# shafts full-length (31-1/4" after head taper) for my 29-1/2" draw. Ribtec 125S, 125W or Magnus II 125 gr heads.

1966 Browning Explorer 52# with same arrows or Douglas fir 65-70# and STOS 125 gr heads.

I get a few more pounds out of each bow because I draw past 29".

I made a tapering jig and taper the last 12" from 23/64" down to 5/16" with a Dean Torges Bowyers Edge plane.

Making them up in February is a hobby within a pursuit.

Made a spine tester so I could duplicate what worked . . .

This past year I hunted with a Mowoc Dot three-edge but no opportunities offerred.
