What bamboo shafts should I buy online?
PAHunter:
@Buck: thanks man that does sound like a great deal. I'll check it out. Though I'm kinda looking for very good quality bamboo that I can spine and weigh correctly for my bows. Though wiht 500 I'm sure you can weed through them to make several good sets.
Andoing:
HIKSTIK makes great shafts, I am very satisfied with mine.
PAHunter:
What spine shaft do you recommend for a selfbow? I'm guessing the ratings on them are for center cut professional bows. thanks!
PAHunter:
I found this general recommendation on bambooarrows site. Sounds like a good rule of thumb to me!
English Longbow archers will know that they may generally shoot an arrow aprox 10# lower, so a 35-40# shaft at 28 inches will suit a 45-50lb longbow.
PAHunter:
I bought 50 Tonkin bamboo arrow shafts off ebay for $90 including shipping. They are noted at 40-45# and I'm guessing they will work for my 50-60# bows and 27 and 1/2 draw. I'll weight match a set as best I can and work on hickory inserts. Thanks for the advice guys!
