In the last few years, I' ve shot different arrow materials including: Port Orford Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Chundoo, White Pine, Western Larch, Douglass Fir, Ash, White Birch, Laminated Birch, Maple, Hickory, Multiflora Rose, Bamboo, and probably a few others I can' t remember right now. For hunting arrows, I like shafts with moderate to heavy weight, at least moderate durability, and reasonable straightness. Western Larch, Douglass Fir, Ash, Birch, Laminated Birch, and maple (if you can find good shafts) fit the bill nicely. The others are either too light, too weak, or generally not straight enough to suit me for big game hunting purposes...though I still hunt with all of them from time to time. This fall, my broadheads will rest on stout shafts of ash.
