arrow/shaft source?

--- Quote from: DC on May 19, 2019, 12:52:10 pm ---I find it hard to get bamboo that light but I use 45-55# spine. The Tiger bamboo are very nice shafts but the ones I got run in the 450-500 grain range. If you try garden stakes every so often you'll get a stiff one that is in the 320-350 range. It still doesn't leave any room for the tip weight. Spruce and Hemlock work.

You have any luck with Hemlock..? " I use 45-55# spine." .........….so what ya use for your bows that are under 40#
DC:
I found Hemlock to be a bit weak but that's compared to Bamboo. I've only made a couple of bows under 40# and I just rummaged around in my reject arrow bin until I found a couple or three lighter arrows that worked.
jeffp51:
if you make the arrow a little longer, you should be able to get the dynamic spine down to where you want it.
Bob Barnes:
Thanks everyone for the help... a couple of friends, Gifford and Feathers -n- Wood, helped me out and I should end up with some arrows that will work just fine. :OK
