Steve check out  www.surewoodshafts.com (http://www.surewoodshafts.com)  You won't find a better shaft. Cost a little more than other shafts but the quality is a LOT better than other shafts.

I've had terrific quality of cedar shafts and service from Lost Nation.

Best price? Don't know.

I haven't shopped around since the quality and service (which are most important to me) have been so good with Larry and Janice.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

The Footed Shaft, in Rochester, MN. You can e-mail Lamont Grainger at footedshaft@uswest.net or fax him at 507-288-3262

If he doesn't have -- or can't get -- what you want, he should know where it can be found.

Hildebrand arrow shafts. Outstanding customer service and excellent shafts.

I second Raptor Archery.  I have been getting his Douglas Firs shafts from a while now, and they are always top notch. I cant remember having to cull a bad shaft because of grain runout, mismiatched spine weight, or any other reason. Previously, I had bought shafts from several dealers, including the big boys, and I always had to cull shafts for one reason or another.

Foxfire Archery. Great prices. I just ordered 2 dozen Sitka spruce shafts.  I haven't received them yet so I can't speak about the quality but I'm hoping very good.  They are also a sponsor.

I'll second what vintage45 said on Hildebrand shafts. I just ordered a dozen spruce shafts from them. Straight and straight grained and the weight was within 5 grains. Jim.
