HELP!!! Long wood arrows shafts.

BrianC · May 26, 2016, 12:14:00 PM

I'm looking at getting into some wood arrows, but my draw length to the edge of the shelf is 31 1/2".

I'm going to need a 33 to 34" arrow shafts with a 70-75 spine.

I'm shooting a Bob Lee bow 30" @ 50# 64" AMO.

Thanks!!!

I believe some can be found at www.forresterwoodshafts.com, there are perhaps others and you can have footed shafts made to accommodate your draw length as well.

Thanks Jim!

I have looked at Forresterwoodshafts.com. Looks like they only have mahogany shafts in my size for about $40 for a half dozen. Was hoping to find something a little cheaper, but I might just have to "bite the arrow" and go that route.

I am shooting some Mahogany Arrows through my Toelke Super D. The dozen I ordered were very consistent in weight and spine. They remind me of Douglas Fir concerning durability and straightness with a very pretty grain, no need to stain.

You might try getting the shafts if your choice and adding Reparrow footings to them. That should give you the length you need.

Bamboo. They come in that spine and are plenty long my last ones are 33".

I had bought some 34" ash shafts from Alleghany Arrows woods,but that was years ago.

That was my 1st thought.

Surewood Shafts is a sponsor here...if Steve cannot help you he can probably tell you where to find what you are looking for

Do both, get Steve's shafts and Jim's Reparrows!

I suggest you will need a much stiffer spine at that length.

I Love my surewood shafts!! Those guys were awesome to deal with and these shafts are 110% top notch/shelf quality. I am very picky about shafts and have made my own in the past, but I trust these.
