Title: Who shoots Woodies?
Post by: Flem on September 26, 2019, 04:18:13 PM
I ask because I have some Doug Fir shafts and one Larch shaft, that are too short for me. If your buddies call you short draw, these might be for you.
3 are 27 1/8"
2 are 27 7/8
2 are 28 1/4

I believe they are all less than 23/64"  I did not check the spine on them, but would guess it's in the 55-60# range. I usually just sand them till I get the spine I need.
They currently weigh around 400grains each, give or take 20grains. Should have some thumping power!
If you can use these, P.M. me and they are yours.

I was going to cut a slot in the Larch, but I realized it was a waste of time. No matter what I did, that shaft was going to be a little too short. I'm too leery of the short life of wood arrows to want to foot them.

Good Eye Stic :thumbsup: I had to go and measure the Larch shaft. It's 3/8"

Looks like you both have near perfect shoulder alignment. Just need to lay it over sideways a little and grab that stick like it's a bow, not a tea cup. :goldtooth:
