Title: Wooden arrow makers
Post by: David Yukon on September 28, 2011, 09:01:00 PM
Good day, I was wondering who might make the best wooden arrows. I'm looking for heavy arrows to shoot out of my 70lbs longbow. I was thinking DF, any suggestion on wood choices and on somebody who is reliable, that make great arrows?
Thank you.

Douglas fir is good and ash is too.

There are a ton of excellent wood arrow crafters out there.  I have switched over to all douglas fir shafts myself.

Elite Arrows makes the best wood arrows I know of , I like good old cedar for wood choice. All around cedar is hard to beat .

I buy Surewood shafts 10 dozen at a time.  They have all been carbon straight right out of the pile.

Another shameless plug for both Surewood's Douglas Fir and Magnus' arrows.  Hard to go wrong supporting TG sponsors.

I really like the Douglas Fir shafts from Surewood. They are great guys to deal with and I have not had a bad shaft ever.

Check out David Lawson, Snag, to us here. He's in Oregon and makes an incredibly beautiful arrow from Surewoods.

Snag's contacted me and he offered me something I can't pass... So we'll see, but so far it is in his hands!!
Thank you for all the good suggestions, look like it is in between Snag and Magnus...
