Title: Who Builds Good Woodies????
Post by: Stringdancer on June 07, 2008, 05:06:00 PM
I'm shooting some Sitka Spruce Woodies that came from Ron La Clairs shop, and like them, but I hear his arrowsmith is really backed up right now.  Who builds a good arrow, and I don't want to get into making them myself at this time.  I, don't mind fletching, but I don't want get involved in staining, and sealing shafts at this time.

There was a guy on here jflint or something like that, but I don't see him anymore. So, who do you suggest?

Thanks,
Mike

I build my own hickorys, so I cannot speak from experience, but I believe any fletcher on the Trad. Gang  sponser list would build you a good shaft.

I usually build my own but will occasionally get lazy and buy some really nice arrows from Scott Greaves at Old South.

 http://www.oldsoutharrows.com/  

I've always received great service and terrific arrows from Scott.

I recently saw that Scott was recommended on the A&H ACS site too.

I buy the tapered cedar shafts from Kustom King. I cannot vouch fo their arrows, but I cannot believe that they would not be high quality.
