Tapered Doug Fir

[Carcajou]

Any sources for tapered Doug Fir shafts/arrows?  Most I have seen have been for parallel shafts. Thanks

Surewood Shafts makes the best IMO. Not sure if you already tried them, but they should have them in stock. It has been a while since I ordered any.

Splurge for the premium.. they generally require no straightening and a very tight in terms of spline.

I bought a dozen tapered last year from Surewood. Excellent shafts.

I have only shot Surewood Shafts and they are awesome to business with. you might want to look at Wapiti Archery. http://wapitiarcherypoc.com/

My son, with his 144 gross of 2018s and 144 gross of 2020s, swore that he never use wood arrows again except for shooting small game.  He decided to take his only ASL longbow hunting when Howard Hills birthday rolled around and needed some wood shafts.  He got tapered Surewoods, he swears they are best flying arrows that he ever shot out of that bow.  He killed a really nice 9 pointer on Howard Hills past birthday with his ASL, buried the arrow three inches into the dirt bank six yards past the deer.

just really curious as to your thoughts/reasoning  behind the tapered shafts.
I have read some neat techno stuff about tapered shafts recently.
would just like to hear others thoughts on it

Wapiti is another excellent source of both tapered cedar and d-fir.

When a shaft maker makes shaft tapered, it gets additional scrutiny of its worthiness, beside I have a bunch of original 5/16 Mercury nocks.

I received the new shafts from Surewood, prompt service, and excellent quality.

Being tapered the shaft clears the arrow pass better.  FOC is not the main reason for tapering IMO.

Agreed. Allows for more spline tollorance IMO

Have you tried "The Footed Shaft" for those nocks?
