I think you mean bamboo is a GRASS.  Both bamboo and Doug Fir are plants.  Sorry if I sound like a jerk.  Not meaning to.

Surewoods I like so thats my vote but what about the christmas trees? That will be next first it was the owls and then it will be christmas tress?

I guess get them while we can. There is plenty of other woods thats true but what do we like? I just started shooting them this year and they really have beautiful grain in them as well.

I've shot cedar and sitka spruce. Not very thrilled with durability of either. WHat would be the most durable wood arrow shaft material?

I voted Ash but I really like the birch as well.
It kinda depends on the bow type and draw weight I am after. Some bows need different ammo.That Doug Fir is hard to beat for a one size fits all arrow for me though. Best of all worlds.
