RE: Want to shoot a heavier arrow!
Don, if you like the RRA' s call Paula or Cecil and see what weight they can get for you. They do sell extra heavy/extra light, but it might take a bit to get them compared to average weight. They are out of the shop right now, but will be back soon (Monday?). I tried Douglas Fir several years ago and it was ok, and a little heavier--not sure of a good source for them though. Lastly, I have heard that Larch is heavier and tougher than cedar, but I have no experience with them.
