Privitt Hedge Shafts

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mark Anderson:
Privet does make some good solid shafts. I usually take all the bark off except at the ends to keep them from checking. It's worked for me so far. I do it that way because once it's dry you got to do a lot of scraping to get it off and as long as there is about an inch or so left on at the ends till it dries it has done well for me.

Badger:
  Are you guys picking larger diameter and planing it down? I picked a bundle several years ago but it seemed the spine was a little low, diameter may have been too small. Steve

Pat B:
Steve, like with most shoot shafts you want to be sure the shoot is at least 2 years old. Year old shoots are generally pretty flimsy.

hillbilly61:
 How do you tell the diff between 1 and 2 year old shafts?

PeteC:
Privet makes a good heavy shaft,thus,a good hunting arrow.Spend a little extra time selecting straight shoots,with the little twigs up and down them.These are the older shoots and wii give you an arrow with sufficient weight to spine ratio.It is fairly easy to get 600-700 grain arrows in the mid 50# spine range. God Bless
