Cheap Cedars?

[mellonhead]

I'm looking for a place to buy some cheap cedar shafts for stump shooting.  Loking for something like seconds I quess.  Anyone know were I can find some at?  Thanks.

Look on the unmentionable auction site-search for 'cedar' under 'shafts'. I think the supplier is Wapiti Archery in Oregon.

Thanks Bjorn, I'll check them out.

If you're not stuck on cedar, American Woodcrafters has birch dowels for $25.00/100. They require a little work and culling, but they are CHEAP, and make great arrows.

I got a bunch from FS Discount Archery, came out to 19.95 a dz. Not as cheap as those dowels, for stumpin' that's a heck of a deal.

"Life's too short to shoot cheap cedars"

I'm with Ron on that one, but Wapiti and Rose City do make alot of stumpers. dino

How about other shaft materials?  I have only ever used POC.  Would Douglas fir or Sitka Spruce hold up any better?  I go stump shooting about every day.  I have already broke 5 this week.  Just looking for a cheaper alternative or a better shaft material.

I've had good experiences with Douglas Fir.  Of the arrows I've tried I've broke the most in Cedar, 1 in Sitka Spruce, none in Doug Fir (or aluminum, but I don't count those!:-)
