Ash or hickory

<< < (2/2)

Kegan:
I used hickory for a time. Excellent arrows, but I'm not using them again unles I go after after African game. As was said, they are very heavy, and also tough to keep straight. If you're hutning Kodiaks or moose, that's one thing, but ash seem alot easier to use and keep in condition.

ballista:
 i made some hickory arrows from a 30 inch plank that were decent- i had to get then from big squared edges to smooth, and that killed my spine, but my cousin used oak EXCLUSIVLEY for deer, he swears by them- and as it is known, ash is real similar to oak, so maybe thats the better way to go. P.S. if you ever do blowgun hunting, oak work great for shafting- the best ive used at least. good luck, -jimmy
