1. Can I get a wood shaft 31.5' long?
2. How much would a shaft weight? Assuming it was POC or any other wood in that length?
Thanks...
The last batch I bought were 31.5" tapered chundoo that weighed 390-400. But that will vary quite a bit even within the same species of wood. Shouldn't have any trouble finding wood shafting of this length on the sponsor's sites.
If you had to you could get some that are footed(expensive). Then they could be any length you wanted. Gary
The POC shafts I get are 32" and a typical weight for an 11/32 cedar is 430 grains.
You can buy a grain scale on the unmentionable auction site for 20.00.
If you want to make good wood arrows you really need Cupcake's Spine-o-meter and a grain scale as part of your tools.
Where do you get the 32' POC ???
3Rivers has it.
Shafts (http://www.3riversarchery.com/Product.asp?c=58&s=158&p=213&i=1112X)
my bare cedar 32" 11/32 weights 370 grains
my raw, compressed POC shafts in the neighborhood of 450 grains
I just bought some 32" ash shafts from Allegheny Mountain Arrowwoods that came in around 500 grains per shaft.
The last three batches of ash I got from AMAW were 540-550, 540-550, and 530-540 for the full length shafts (65-70).
I'll check the Chundoo and Doug Fir I have at home tonight.
While you wood arrow guys are looking :)
How heavy of spine can you get in a 5/16" spruce shaft.I need some well matched ones in a lighter weight around 50lbs.Is this do-able and if so who sells them? Need to make some good 3d arrows.
Next Question, what diameter shaft will I have to get for a 60-65 spine?
James I just purchased a set of tapered shafts for my 55# bow they are 5/16 th's p.o.c. but were spined 52-57#spine weight.They were a little pricey but worth the extra money. I bought them on the leading auction site you might look into that.

I get my Sitka Spruce from Hildebrand's http://www.hildebrandarrowshafts.com/
--they list 32" as their full length.
Our Surewoods are 32" before any tapering, are you needing a 31 1/2" finished arrow? Most wood shafts will run 32" raw.
For most woods in a 60-65 spine your going to be looking at 11/32".
