Thank you for sponsoring the magazine and forum.  I entered your drawing.  I'm interested in the hex shafts.  I might have to give those a try.

Yes, thanks for supporting PA Magazine and our forum. Hope you will join in with the fun we have here.
I also entered your promotion. I like any wood shafting so I'm not picky.

I win ZERO. I have bought raffle tickets for more things over the years than I can count. I've never won a drawing of any sort. But I keep trying! Heck, I was at a St Judes rabbit hunt last winter and well over half won something, not me :)

Nice products - but I didn't see an online order form.  How do we place an order . . . in case I don't win . . .

Thank you. Nice offer.
Title: Re: Arrow shaft giveaway!
Post by: TSA on January 31, 2017, 06:09:46 pm
thanks all.
there are two ways to order, Smoke, you can email me directly- or use the "contact us" form on the website.
i love to chat archery- so am more than willing to spend time on the phone too.

However, its oft times easier and more cost effective to purchase through one of our agents in the U.S. ( thats assuming you're in the U.S. of course  :D), as they order in bulk, and their shipping rates are substantially less than shipping, say a dozen shafts!
check out our "Distributors" page on the website- click on their logo- it will take you directly to their home page!
http://www.trueshaftarchery.com/distributors.html

But, please feel free to contact either the suppliers directly, or contact me, even if you want to just talk to us about arrows- and then purchase directly from the supplier. Its all good. Just whichever happens to be most convenient for you!

Good way to market a product.
Are they all parallel shafts? Or do you offer tapered as well?

Thank You so much for this offer and thanks even more for drawing my name. I'm usually a tapered shaft guy but I have bought a dozen parallel shafts before and will surely use your shafts when the need arises. I have lots of friends I will tell. Thanks again

Cool contest! Thanks for supporting this community.

Just to toss this out there, but I just got a dozen of Trueshaft Sitka spruce arrows from 3rivers and I'm impressed! Not only with the characteristics of the wood, but the fact that they come in 34" shafts (very nice for us fellas with long draws). I didn't realize they had a website with other shaft material choices until this contest post.

So, in turn, I'll be sure to order more arrows directly from them next time!

I would like to say I called Wayne at TSA. He was very informative and interesting to talk to and I believe he will fit into this community very well. I can tell he has a passion for his product and archery and seems like a very down to earth type of person. Thanks again Wayne look forward to seeing more of you and TSA on the site. Good Luck with you business. In case anyone is wondering, I got first dozen Sitka Spruce premium shafts free delivery. I picked 50-55 spine. 11/32".  I then was given 2 more dozen hunter grades to pick that I pay shipping on. I decided to pick Hickory for a little more physical weight 50-55 spine 11/32" diameter. Wayne said there supply was a little low right now but they would be running some more in a few weeks. I was going to try the hex shaft but he said they are having some problems with tooling yet, and where waiting to see how much interest there was for them before investing a lot in them. I decided to go with a dozen Sitka Spruce hunter grade 50-55 spine 11/32 diameter. Wayne said he would  get back with me before sending out and I could change my order anytime before that. Thanks again TSA

Hopefully Wayne can get down to the South and see what that Southern Hospitality is all about.  Twin Oaks sure has a heap of that to serve up at the Classic!

Wished he could also, I talked to him and he said not this year [working 8 days a week] but hopefully next year, he is sending some stuff for the raffle table and very generously offered some seconds for us to use for kids arrows, we have lots of kids and they loose lots of arrows so that will come in very handy.
Thanks again  Wayne for your support of PA.

Hiya all
i know its been a while, apologies for the delayed response, its tough to find time to spend at the PC even with these 9 day weeks.we have literally been snowed under with orders- 3D season I guess.

Anyway here are some pics of some of the shafts going out to the winners. both winners were notified immediately. However, they both opted for Hemlock shafts for their additional bonus prizes, and they know that the hemlock is in process. it all just takes a little bit of time, with all the stabilization times we allow for in the process.

Got me excited Wayne, those look real nice. I'm completely out of parallel shafts now to and just broke one of my Red Osier tapered shaft trying a head shoot on a ground hog in our wood pile.

Post by: TSA on March 25, 2017, 11:13:21 pm
did you get the ground hog? thats what counts! arrows are sacrificial i guess! are they edible?
interesting how you try for a head shot, i would just be trying for a "ground hog " shot- somehow i think your shooting skills are a lot more refined than mine!!

the hemlock  is in process now- and hopefully we can get your entire package off to you soon.
as we dont kiln dry our wood- we allow for periods of stabilization between each stage of the  process- that adds to the production time unfortunately.
if however you get desperate for shafting- we can send the spruce- just the shipping would be higher than just shipping one package.

cheers

Sorry to say no I didn't get the ground hog. Ha ha I'm betting your a better shot than me Wayne. Only reason I took that shot was because I was getting to cold waiting for him to come out of the log pile. All he offered me was head shot from about 19 yards. Knew it was high risk low chance shot. Was either going to get him or glance off log or slam into cement wall. Was favoring the glancing off log, should have been aiming small. To tell the truth I've never shot one but they get digging under our cement floors taking the sand out and wrecking the floor. I have a buddy in a wheelchair that loves to spend his summer hunting them.They are really becoming a terrible problem, he got over 200 last year and they just keep gaining in numbers. I have enough Red Osier to keep me shooting, no hurry on sending them out. Bjrogg
