Default RE: Who's got wood?

A guy at our club got some laminated birch arrows. Nice looking stuff, straight and consistent but expensive and HEAVY. Even at 26", they were around 700 grains.

I think the quality of cedar shafting you get has more to do with breakage than anything else. The arrows I've made from Rogue River shafts last a lot longer than the ones I've made from Rose City shafts. Of course, the Rogue Rivers also shoot better, which means I miss less with them.

I can buy 2 dozen Rose City shafts for each dozen of RR's so I usually wind up with the cheapies. Not a good move, really. I wind up spending double on feathers and nocks than I would with the RR's and. considering 3 dozen feathers cost almost as much as a dozen shafts.....[:-]!

I've been wanting to try chundoo, but nobody seems to have it in stock when I want shafts.[&:]
