RE: Toughest wood arrows?
yup, a partner of mine is doing it for his kids. Also I used to hit the hardware stores for grousin/stumpin arras. as an single E-4 living in the barracks money was tight! Dowels worked great and last about as long as my 30 shaftes were!!!
Also after going to ash awhile back I loved it! You can bend them suckers dang near as hard as you can a alum and it wouldnt break (my first deer did this). Have shot rocks to prove to a couple folks up here that the ash is one helluva arra wood. As long as it hit it straight it didnt bust!
