Pauls are the best most consistent wood arrows I've ever used. He is a master arrowsmith. His weight and spine tolerances are superb.

I used a set of Sitka Spruce  to take my bear this spring.  They are about 7-8 years old and have stood up well.  Complete pass thru.  About 28"/  63# spine out of a 53#  Blacktail w/ a 160 grn Stos.  I originally bought them to go with my 51# Shrew but found they worked well with the Blacktail also.


Very good looking arrows to boot.  Brian Wessel commented on how good they looked.  I got really good flight with them. You can see a good photo of them on the Shrew webpage.

Paul's arrows are the most closely matched in weight and spine that I have ever used. He is a master fletcher.

He double checks the straightness using a straightening tool with a dial caliper.

have to agree with everyone above but mainly for me its where I go when I need 5/16"  arrows at 50# spine or should I say 48-49-50 spine for the entire dozen and pretty much the same total grain weights from arrow to arrow and might as well mention they are as accurate as carbons,,,, I'm talking be real careful when shooting many arrows at the same spot...

Arrows are first class in every way.  He is generous with time and information.  I have now bought about 7 dozen over more than 6 years and would not hesitate to buy more.

Best there are when it comes to spine and weight matching and finish/cresting and price. The absolute industry standard in wooden arrows all others are judged by imho.

I guess I would have to say shooting his arrows changed my views on wood shafts. Beautiful and consistent in every way. First class guy to deal with as well. Cannot go wrong with Paul! Kudos!!

Deep within the forest glade, that's where the big bucks lie

The canopy is heavy there, it covers up the sky

In gloomy shadows void of light, nothing's very clear

especially the outline, of the ghostly whitetail deer

But when you send your arrow, upon it's deadly flight

you'll know it's path through the gloom, by feathers showing bright

Like it's namesake, it's clear to see, like a beacon in the sky

This arrow is the hunters friend, it's called the   FIREFLY

"... the entire dozen and pretty much the same total grain weights from arrow to arrow and might as well mention they are as accurate as carbons,,,, I'm talking be real careful when shooting many arrows at the same spot..."

I have to agree with Tajue17 above. Spine and weights are very closely matched as you will find.
Shooting with multiple arrows at the same spot at your own risk and may result in broken knocks and or damaged fletching.

Had to order 1 dozen knocks in two colors because his arrows shoot that well.
