Anyone heard of or used these shafts? I am looking to get a dozen quality wood arrows and was wondering if this was a good shaft to use with my new Black Widow that will be here Monday.
I don't know much about the Hexshaft.. But enjoy your new toy..

Call Bob at Whispering Wind, the hexshafts I've had were really good from him!
Get a hold of Bob Burton at Whisperingwindarrows.com. He's on here regularly as Arrowmaker. He will buid you some dandy arrows!

I've shot the hexpine shafts for about a year now and like them quite a bit. And Whispering Wind is the place to go.
Enjoy your new bow!

Ditto on Whispering Wind. I have a dozen of his footed shafts made up. I love them and he was great to deal with. Top notch customer service.
Go to hexshaft on line the are easy to order I have gotten deer with them and hit trees with out breaking them, if you shoot a glass backed bow get 10 to 15 spine higher then your bow pulls.I have a tomahawk SS 63# @ 29" and need spine for 70 to 75 I would buy a test kit.

Are these a laminated wood shaft? What kind of wood?
David,
Glued up but not laminated in the sense of plywood. Bob (Whispering Wind Arrows) had a cool display at his booth at Western States. The process starts with a lodgepole pine slat, gets V grooved, glue applied and roll into a dowel. After drying it is put through a machine for size.
Here is graphic to show you the grain orientation:

I have a set started and am needing to get them crested and fletched.

Glue can minimize the woods ability to flex. I know this is true of other wood products that are glued...? Just wondering about the shaft going through paradox. Also the consistancy one dozen to the next.
