In your all's opinion what is the best wood shafts to hunt with. I have used cedar could not get them straight for some reason. What is the best?

Huntingnut

Don't know if there is a "best", but I'm pretty much sold on Douglas Fir.

I like douglas fir for straightness and ash for durability and weight.

I have used poplar, ash, hickory, sugar maple, and basswood. Any of the hardwoods are hard to straiten. The basswood I've used is really nice. Easy to straiten and shoots good.

Douglas Fir but have been using poplar more in the last while. Hard to beat it for value, durable and good weight.

I ave been playing with hackberry shafts I hve been turning down my self and way tougher than ash or hickory with alot more weight. But I also think ya cant go wrong with sitka spruce I have not tryed Douglas fir so cant compare their

I got 3 dozen Surewoods(Douglas Fir) from Tim at Braveheart Archery and didn't have to straighted any of them. Also they were all within 4 grains of each other in weight. I have shot them for six months and have only had to straighten two.

Used POC for awhile but got some DougFir in a trade a while back. Really impressed with the weight and straightness of the Fir.

Good POC is about as straight as wood gets and is quite easy to straighten as well.  I also like Doug fir for a little physically heavier shaft. In hardwoods, birch or hickory, the latter being quite heavy.
