Wood choice for arrows

<< < (2/5) > >>

Nasr:
so definitely gonna try poplar. I have tried pine but the stuff I get seems really weak. I wanna try Birch if I can get the same weight as Poplar.

Woodely:
I have settled on Hemlock.   Have tried poplar, cedar and doug fir.

burtonridr:
+1 Pine is very weak. I build some last year with pine, I think I broke every single target arrow already, usually they broke the first time I missed the target.

Pat B:
That should keep you from missing the target.   >:D

willie:
birch and poplar are both considered diffuse porous, which might help with the durability. some pines have  better ring structures than others and arrow quality can vary widely between pine species also. I have had good luck with fine ringed lodgepole, and avoid juvenile wood with most conifers
