[Ansteorra-archery] Fw: [SCA-MissileCombat] Please read.. fiberglass shafts for arrows and bolts

[Bob Dewart]

Wouldn't be a bad idea of you as KAM putting that info in the BlackStar for
a report.  It would reach more people and it wouldn't cost you anything.

> 1. "Generic" rod sold by Gene Bolton Sales
> 2. Rod from Tencom Ltd., a supplier for GBS
> 3. MSC Direct (an on-line and direct supplier with nationwide outlets). We

> 1."Extren" brand of rod manufactured by the Strongwell Corp.
>  http://www.strongwell.com. Anyone can call the Strongwell Corp Sales
> Dept at 276-645-8000 and get the name of vendors close to them.
>
> 2. Maclean fiberglass rod manufacture by Maclean-Fogg.. One place to
> purchase this is Northstar Archery http://www.northstararchery.com, which
> sells cut to length shafts made from Maclean fiberglass rod.
>
> Normally, I wouldn't recommend a particular supplier/vendor. However, in

>
> Our testing has shown that the Extren 500 rod and Maclean fiberglass rod
is

> are any questions, please direct them to me.  We are looking further into
