CHUNDOO
« on: November 25, 2011, 09:10:07 pm »
Anybody have experience with chundoo? I was thinking of trying some. Wondered how it compares with cedar. If you have used it please give me the 411 on it.

  Chundo "Lodgepoll Pine" anybody out there that has made or shot Chundoo arrows? I heard it was very durable and very straight grained.

Chundo is a widely used commercial shafting. I've never used it but it seems to be a good shafting. I'd say it is heavier and tougher than cedar but most other shafting is.  ;)  I think cedar is used primarily because it is straight, stays relatively straight and is somewhat light. When cedar was first used folks didn't think that much about arrow weight as long as they shot well.

It is a good durable shaft. The problem I had with it was I had to constantly straighten them. Once I started shooting cane and bamboo I've never gone back to shoots or wood shafts. I like the grass shafts, now.

I've made and shot a few.  The more growth rings per inch the better.  Somewhat durable.  About the same as cedar.
