Title: Long wood arrows
Post by: D Sheffey on December 04, 2009, 01:03:00 PM
I've been shooting carbon for several years and wanted to go back to wood but 3 Rivers doesn't offer long shafts anymore.  They used to have both Chundo and Poplar that would make a finished arrow 32" bop but not anymore.  Where can I get long wood these days?  Is Troy Breeding still around?

I don't think Troy is still making shafts. Sure wish he was, I liked working with him.
You could get footed shafts to add length but that's pretty expensive. Less costly is the   Reparrow Footings. (http://www.angelfire.com/biz/Ironwood/woodbows.html)  .

Hickory Creek might make you some longer shafting, or get them footed by Raptor Archery.

You might try Allegheny Mountain Arrow Woods.

Make your own w/jig & router. Plans in the archives. Burnish at the same time which will add much strength.

D Sheffey, I have matched barrel tapered poplar in spines of 65-70, 70-75, and 75-80 in 33" length. You can PM me if that's what you're looking for.

I just got a dozen from Don and they are nice and are over 32 BOP.
