Wood choice for arrows
Woodely:
Anybody used maple or hickory. If so what is your take on them species.

Hickory makes a very heavy arrow. Pine Hollow sells hickory shafting. Don't know about maple but I'd guess it would work.

Big Leafed Maple might be interesting. If you found a piece with straight enough grain you could make an arrow with only 1/2 a growth ring :D

Doubt if it would hold to soft. I only use Eastern maple.

Make my arrows by hand planing. I find pine to be more time efficient for me. Jawge
