Well it seems it has been a while since I was around and when I called Milt at what used to be Wildcat Canyon and he informed me that he sold the business three years ago. This confirmed, that indeed, I have been fly fishing a whole bunch and not shooting bows and arrows. I have been shooting again now for a couple months and I need some new arrows.
I need some suggestions on who can make me some pretty ones like Milt used to, but I don't want to cry like a baby when I break one. I live in Western NC so anyone close to that would get my attention first. Glad to be back around. Looking forward to getting back in the woods a bit and going to some shoots.

If you are talking about wood arrows, I would contact snag on here. His arrows are beautiful!

Yes, I'm sorry, I shoot wood. I have a 55# Mike Treadway so it likes them towards the 55-60 spine w the ff string.
Bill Stroupe will hook you up. He is in Dallas down below Hickory and makes as fine an arrow as anyone.
X2 for Snag!

I personally like Snag for surewoods and Elite for cedars.
I was blown away when I grain tested My last dozen of Surewoods from snag and 9 out of 12 hit the same exact grain weight! the other 3 where within 3 grains and these arrows shoot like carbons. surewoods are tough! and if you like a heavier than cedar and a lot tougher than cedar arrow these are them.
I usually make my own but recently was pressed for time & ordered some from North West Archery (http://www.nwarchery.com/custom-deluxe-wood-arrows/) & was very impressed with the quality. They shoot every bit as good as they look!

Not the best picture taken with my iPhone but those are Douglas Fir shafts.
Magnus of Turkey Flite Traditional makes some sweet arrows.
Thanks guys. Contact info for Mr. Stroupe and Snag?
