Sitka spruce makes a great arrow, tougher than POC, but is also lighter in mass weight.  It is the most consistent arrow wood in mass weight that I have used, maybe only 50 gr spread in a spine group.  The lighter weight shaft lends itself well to using heavier points, a good thing IMO.  Hildebrand is the best source I know of but don't know if they sell by thousands either.

Surewood fir is currently my preferred shafting.

Not much experience with the KK pine.
Good judgement comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad judgement.

I had some of the "German Pine" shafts that KK had. Worked well. Seems they only had a limited supply of them though. Good luck.

I've used sitka spruce.  It makes a good arrow, but if you hit a stump or rock, that's it.  I made a dozen a few months ago and I'm down to 3 now.  They fly great, but they just aren't tough enough for me.  For comparison I bought a dozen ash shafts over 2 years ago and I still have 6 of those...

My friend bought both the german pine and german spruce from KK.  His comment was the spruce flies better.  I just ordered 4 dz from KK and would like to try making footed arrow in hope to make them tougher.
