[Ansteorra-archery] Archers Opinion? input please :)

[Blackmoon]

GREETINGS 

>I am wondering if archers out there have an opinion about using other woods then cedar for arrows. I make shafts in the 3 woods above and its been my experiance after shooting all three woods that all of them fly the same. Cedar seems to lose on the toughness part as dougfir and ash seem to take abuse better. 

I HAVE TO WONDER IF THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME OR BETTER SPINE ?
WOULD I HAVE TO CHANGE SHAFT SIZE , TO GET THE SAME SPINE ?
AND WHAT IS THE WEIGHT DIFFERENCE FOR A SHAFT OF EACH WOOD ?
ALSO, WHAT THE COST DIFFERENCE WOULD BE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT WOODS  ? TAX INCLUDED .

BE SAFE, BE HAPPY, HAVE FUN

  I am wondering if archers out there have an opinion about using other woods then cedar for arrows. I make shafts in the 3 woods above and its been my experiance after shooting all three woods that all of them fly the same. Cedar seems to lose on the toughness part as dougfir and ash seem to take abuse better. 


  With the laws putting a tax on cedar shafts (wonder whos brillant idea that was) it seems to me that cedar - while nice - is unnessasary for a match set of target or hunting arrows. 

  Whats your thoughts?


  Input please - good, bad or indifferent
