I used to buy a variety of wooden shafts from a place called Silent Pond. Are they still around? They had many types of wood available and were pretty reasonable. They had Birch, Ash, Maple and a few others I think.
Who are good sources of shafts these days and what types of woods do they offer? Who has the best prices?
I still have a quite a few shafts and wooden arrows but most were for a 55lb longbow and are spined for 65 to 70 lbs or so. Chundoo wood was my favorite. I am thinking I am needing a lower spine weight these days.
Thanks
Chundoo can be gotten from Twig Archery in Ohio @ (740) 829-2847.
Doug Fir best shafts I found yet, at Surewoodshafts.com
Allegheny Mountain Arrow Woods is still around if you need ash and other woods.
Does Twig have a website? I think I bought from them years ago.
Tsalagi, is that cherokee?
Thanks for the info guys.
Try Raptor Archery they have spruce, ash and hickory. They are all weighed and spined to match.

Neutron: I made lots of arrows with shafts from Silent Pond and I have a bunch left. I may or may not have your spine. If I do I will be happy to talk to you. What do you need?
You won't be sorry if you go with Surewoods. Finest shafts on the market today! Really a joy to make arrows out of these.
Twig....haven't ordered from them for awhile, but they're who I'll order from next. :thumbsup:
Poplar, chundoo, cedar, ramin, highland pine. Raw shafts, prefinished or finished arrows. Parallel, tapered, barrel tapered and stumpers.
No website that I know of. Not a real big operation but a great place for arrows/shafts.
Elite Arrows will always be my first go to for wooden arrows. Paul is a super guy!!
Over the years I have tried most wooden shafts,Ash,laminated birch,hex pine,pine and of coarse cedar.All have their pros and cons but this year I decided to try sitka spruce and in my opinion are the best wood sharts out there.They are as straight as premium cedar shafts and are as tough as nails.Hunting weight shafts are available (370g to 390g) for the raw shaft.
Try giving Neil Hidebrand at Hildebrand Arrow Shafts a call @1-866-568-0232,he will be more than happy to help you,Dell.
Lukas Novotny of Saluki bows likes Sitka spruce shafts.

You can get both bare shafts and finished arrows.
Don't forget Fletch. He just sent me some shafts to try. "Shoot them, change them up, do what you need to make them work, then send them back once you figure out what you need" is what he told me. I WILL buy my shafts from someone that is willing to help you out like that. They are smokin' shafts to boot.
Who is Fletch?
Twig archery is EXCELLENT!
I'll second TWIG Archery!!
He has an ad in TBM---top notch service and products.
I have a limited number of barreled poplar shafts left, from my old Superceder stock. No more in the 50-60 ranges, but I do have them over and under that. PM me if interested and I'll send you a list of what's available.
Does Twig have a web site?
No Twig does not have a website I was up their almost every friday this summer by far the best wood shafts around ever!! John's a very nice and also very smart when it comes to wood arrows I woulden't buy them anywhere else.
I`ll give him a call thanks Levi
