Douglas fir or port orford cedar for arrows?

<< < (2/2)

gemmalyly:
Both Douglas fir and Port Orford cedar (POC) can make good wooden arrows, but they have different characteristics. The better choice depends on your bow weight, shooting style, and preferences.

Freyana:
The best choice depends on personal preference, bow weight, and shooting style. If you’re looking for durability and stability, go with Douglas fir. If you prefer lighter arrows and ease of crafting, Port Orford cedar might be the way to go. Happy shooting! :fp

JW_Halverson:
If someone gave me a lifetime supply of cedar arrow shafts I'd promptly trade them for six doug fir shafts or three sitka spruce.

The only benefit I can find for cedar is that they smell good when they break, and they will break soon.
