Title: Tapered Cedars / Compressed Cedars
Post by: Renaissance Man on February 23, 2009, 09:42:00 AM
I have tried to no avail to find Kerry Gesink (Cedarsmith) and am wondering who is making really good shafts now. Would prefer compressed cedars or at least good quality tapered. 55-60 & 60-65
Any suggestions

Lamont Granger at The Footed Shaft carries Cedarsmith's shafts if he's still making them.

Kerry sold the business [Cedarsmith] to a fella named Jim Miller in Eagle Colorado, I just picked up some compressed/tapered/footed shafts and the quality is still there.

Jim Curlee, Pine Island, Minn., makes very nice tapered POC arrows.  They're not compressed though.  Most recent email address I have for him is curleejim@pitel.net.

Curlee makes excellent tapered cedar shafts.
The email that Orion has posted is correct.  He also has a small business card size ad in TBM. You can also call 507-356-8857 and he will send you a brochure.

I've heard nothing but great things about our Sponsors here for wood Shafts and finished arrows.One other place you might want to try is Northwest Archery, Suzanne St.Charles now has Hildebrand Sitka Spruce tapered or parallel besides POC. I'm waiting on a 1/2 dozen  Spruces  to try out I'll let you know how they work out. Where in Jersey are you Renaissance Man?

Wapiti Archery in Grants pass Oregon makes darn good tapered ceder shafts. They are the new owners of what was Rouge River Archery. They are tough and streight, within 10 grains weight and less than 5 lbs spine. They have pretty much all spine ranges and are greate to deal with IMO. They have a web site with all their information.

Know the area a little, about 40 minutes north of me, oh and I located Jim Miller, the fellow who bought CedarSmith and ordered a couple of dozen shafts
Thanks to all that helped
