I'm interested too.  I need the 34" length; so I was planning to give them a try.

I haven't tried 3r's poplars but I have made my own some years ago and had pretty good luck with them.  Straighten nice and fly pretty good. dino

I have had good luck on straightening them, but after shooting them for an entire 3-d season, I have found that I must check them for straighness OFTEN. A simple check and hand straighten usually does it. You need to check them just about every shot so you're not surprized by a crooked shaft....IMHO....Terry

Check out Twig archery.  He has a good supply of poplar and carries it in parrel and tapered.  Good prices too!
