I am starting to miss my woodies. Who sells a 5/16 wood shaft. My longbow is 45# at 30in draw length.
The Nocking Point would be my choice.
Hildeband has Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir in 5/16"
Lowes.............
5/16 poplar dowels 4' 87 cents each
Rose City Archery offers great Port Orford Cedar shafting in 5/16, 11/32 and 23/64. They have been in business since the 30's.
The problem is spine. I used to be able to get 45-50# spine in 5/16, but now all I can find it in is 11/32. If you want 40-45# or lower, it shouldn't be a problem. Some people have told me that 45-50# spine might be available occasionally in 5/16, but I get the idea that some people who probably buy a lot more shafts than I do have first dibs on it.
We have 5/16 cedars in 45-50 spine in stock now,we try to keep them all the time.
Good to know! Thanks!
Thanks McDave, spine is the problem with a 30in. draw.
