Wood choice for arrows

(1/5) > >>

Nasr:
 Most of my bows are around 50-55 @ 28"  rang and I would like to make arrows that are 9gpp to 10 gpp for target shooting or lighter. I would like to know which of these woods would be my best choice for the weight. I have Hickory, Ash, Pine, Birch, and poplar.

Pat B:
Hickory would be heavy, ash makes good arrows but in my experience hard to keep straight, pine would be good as would be birch or poplar.

Woodely:
I would try most of them and you will find out what works best,  like Pat says "pine would be good as would be birch or poplar."   

Russ:
ive always heard that poplar is really good.

Pat B:
Poplar is one of my favorite dowel shafts. Very tough and about the same weight as POC.
