Hey, Mez. You could use ACCs if you wanted, but they' re rather pricey I think. Over $100 for a dozen when you can get others between $35-50. Dependin on who you get them from, you can get a dozen for $20 or less. There' s also other woods to use. One of the cheapest places I' ve found is Allegehny Mountain Arrow Woods or whatever it' s called exactly. The website it www.arrowwoods.com He has shafts from heavy hardwoods like ash to lighter stuff like douglas fir. If you really want cedar though then there are a lot of places to get them. I think Rogue River Archery sells mixed dozens if you' re trying to find what spine weight you need. Find what the poundage will be at his draw length if he draws under or over 28" , and get info on tuning the bow. I' d some cedars that I shot tree roots with and they were fine, but then others that broke or bent for rather unknown reasons. Well I' m already talkin to much so umm....g' day.
