sailordad:
   those are just truly impressive :o :o 8)


i'm in the process of straightening about 2 doz red osier shoots,going to try my hand at arrows.  who knows they may turn out 1/100th the nice. if so i'll be happy if they fly straight

The Burnt Hill Archer:
ive never broken an ash shaft. and im not verry nice to em. ive had a couple take 90 degrees off a tree and be fine. i usually straighten mine at the begining of every year, and after that there usually pretty good. i swear by em.

I've had pretty decent luck with them, but I had to keep tweaking on them to keep them straight.   I remember I had made up a dozen for a 75# recurve I had, and they came out in the 800gr range, if I remember correctly.  It was really impressive to see how hard hitting those arrows were!!   I would also say they were the most durable wood arrow I've ever shot too.

SchHIII:
I've no complaints with them. Shot a buck last Fall, retrieved the arrow this spring - it's a little weathered, a little less-than-straight but intact (and has straightened easily). Sure, they're somewhat heavier but, at my hunting distances, this is insignificant. Oh yes, the "driving force" was a CM Crusader 54#@27 and that's my draw.
