Who makes the best tail tapered cedar shafts in your opinion?

I make my own tapers with an angle iron jig.  Quick and simple and flexible. Up

I taper my own, free hand, on a belt sander. It takes less than five minutes for a dozen and allows precise control of spine. For raw shafts, Wapiti has the best cedar but check out other woods also, like fir and spruce.

Wapiti has supplied the best cedar I have found.

I will have to get my next shafts from Wapiti. I recently ordered my last two dozen tapered cedars from a major trad supplier. I won't post the business name here as I didn't contact them with my complaint and provide an opportunity to make it right, so, I don't think that would be fair to them. 6 of the shafts were unusable. I found that odd as I have always had most excellent service and products from them.
