Does anybody out there know where to buy good tapered wood shafts other than Kustom King? They make great arrows but I was hoping to reduce the $30.00/Dz. for just the shafts if I could. Thanks!

Do a search for Rogue River Archery. They have good prices on tapered shafts. I think $22-$26 a dozen.

I taper my own shafts.I bought a thumb plane taper tool..Works real well and can taper a shaft down to 5/16" in a couple of minutes.

I forgot to mention,there's an informative article in the recent issue of Traditional Bowhunter Magazine on how to taper shafts by hand.Check it out.

there is also one in the old back issues and another one on womenoutdoors.com site in the target archery forum

Allegheny Arrow Woods is another source for shafts. They don't offer cedar, but they do offer laminated birch and about a half dozen other materials.

The parallel laminated birch shafts are $22.50/dz and tapered are $32.50/dz. They are straight and as tough as nails. Check'em out at:
