I know 3Rivers sell them. Rogue River Archery used to sell fire hardened cedar arrows but Paula and Cecil retired and sold the business. Maybe the new owner still sells them. They should be not too far from you, John.

3Rivers is a sponsor so I imagine they and PA will be pleased to know you guys are buying shafting from them.

Twig Archery.  They carry chundoo, poplar, and Ramin shafts.

Allegheny Mtn Arrows.  They got a pretty good selection.

Rudderbows has a selection of Poplar.

Hilbrands has a good selection.

Lost Nation Archery.

Kustom KIng

Cut yer own!


I tried the poplar shafts.  they're great.  I don't have any experience with cedar.  I know it was the top of the heap for a long time, but I hear too many remarks about the quality of these shafts any more that would make me shy away.

My grandsons are rough on arrows.  the poplar survive my two with flying colors, and I like the way they fly out of my bow.  I LOVE BAMBOO...money arrow.  Downside is they are a little more work, but it is a labor of love.

Consider the poplar shafts.  Certainly less money, I'd think.  They stain nicely, so far, hold paint pretty well.

That's just commercial stuff.

There is a WEALTH of info on here, the Wall, and a few other sites.  Spend a coupla minutes, look around, and you find a lot of useful info to do about anything to an arrow.

Gotta love it.  Have fun with whatever you try.

I got some tapered cedar shafts from Mike Horton at The Nocking Point.  First time that I have not had to straighten a single shaft.  I don't know if he is a sponsor here but he will help you out.
