Welp....im bitin the bullet again. I finally got tired of dealing with borderline stiff shafts that are a bit heavier then id like. Some of you may remember my string serving/nock point miss-hap, where I tuned my arrows to a 3/8" too high position. Since resetting the nock points, the arrows became too stiff. I already added up to 450gr point weight, and I dont want to go higher as the arrows are already approaching 900gr. I need them down to about 800-825 to match my hunters.....soooooo, sooner or later I had to get more shafts.
I was hoping for Tapered POC shafts from Wapiti, but they said 2 months out for 60/65's because of a waiting list. So, its back to Surewood for Tapered Douglas Firs. I SURE hope the diameters of these shafts are more consistent then the last couple doz. I got premiums this time instead of hunter grade, so we'll see. Odd diameter shafts make for very touchy point tapering with hand taper tools. Be building arrows again very soon.....im getting quite a stock of various wood shafts and arrows from 55/60 - 65/70.
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.
