The poplar shafts I got from Charlie Jefferson(also with Veritas) are tough as nails. Hope you get the same results. I think Charlie also ran his shafts through a compression block.

Very nice. I too have also started using taller fletchings for my broadheads.  Makes a big difference if you ask me.
