Do you guys shoot the 11/32" shafts or the 23/64" & please explain why.
Thanks in advance, Phil
23/64th ony because they sell lots off 100 way cheaper, LOL, honest!
I've shot both and see no differnce in performance. Great shaft 11/32 or 23/64!

11/32" for me. bought 20 dozen because the quality is the best I had ever seen, so I figured get some while the getting is good.
I get 11/32". I always like the smallest diameter I can get in the spine I want.
get 23/64 tapered down 8" to 10" to 11/32
I only get 11/32, and hunting taper them.
11/32", because that is what all my nocks, field tips, blunts, and broadheads are.

The best shafts available today. 11/32 if I can get them in my spine, otherwise 23/64.

doesn't matter - surewoods are top notch shafts! they've got good weight, durability and stay straight quite nicely. i choose 11/32" just cause i do, and for no other reason. ;)
for lighter holding weight bows, or a lower gpp, or for lots more foc, i'm using hildebrand sitka spruce - another fine wood arrow shaft. :thumbsup: with 190 up front, a typical 29" spruce shaft weighs exactly 550 grains and nearly 20% foc.

Ditto. I then taper the last 12" down to 5/16". I've been VERY happy with the grain and straightness. My bows all seem to like them - nice straight flight.
If only they smelled like cedar.
Stumpkiller, just hang a cedar scented air freshner around your neck when you tapering the shafts! :biglaugh:
I like the 11/32 end tapered to 5/16. I also like barrel tapering the 23/64. If you properly tune any diameter wood arrow it will fly good.
Sure woods are the only wood shafts I have. Straight grain, NW made, and the owners are great people. Best wood shaft ever in my book. Burn a cedar scented candle when you fletch them. The wife will love you for that last part. I like the 11/32 shafts.
Both. The thicker ones for heavier bows; the thinner ones for lighter bows.

What Rob said to the letter .....
11/32.....because I started with them and they are great and I dont see the need for the extra diameter. I think its beneficial to keep shaft diameter equal to or lesser than ferrule diameter whenever possible. Surewood is the best!
