I've never used it but I think another name for it is Chundo and it is sold by different shaft makers.     Pat

I think that Chundoo was actually LODGEPOLE pine and not ponderosa.  Don't know if there is much difference between the two pines in properties.  Make a few and see how they spine out.

Stik, I think you are correct.
   Loco,  I would guess that it would be like most pines and make good arrows. Give it a try!     Pat

I've tried ripping ponderosa pine boards and made arrows with it....they're OK but tend to break near the tip.  They aren't good for stump shooting.  Spine is similar to poplar.
