What I meant is, if I like them, I'll look for a deal on them--get a lot better buy on a bundle of a thousand or so. If I did that, chances are that I will only get maybe 25% usable shafts (if I'm lucky) because most will have to be culled due to grain, cracks, wrong spine, etc., then I'll have toseparate the ones that are left into groups by weight.After it's all said and done I have a wad of dowels that I don't need, and won't throw out. I dunno....probably cheaper in the long run for me to just buy them already sorted/weighed/spined. I like to tinker with arrows, but I don't have the time these days. Half the time I have to trade out with a buddy to get arrows made so I have something to shoot.
