Australian "Silverwood" Barreled Arrow Shafts

Wood shafting is often overlooked these days in favor of man made materials because of the increasing difficulty and rising costs in obtaining nicely matched sets of shafts for constant performing arrows. Alternative woods are more and more popular and offer good options these days.

We are pleased to offer you Silverwood barreled shafting. I received several dozen samples to make arrows for testing.
Each of the sample dozens were matched closer than any wooden shafting I've EVER had from ANYWHERE, bar none - spines and weights within less than 5 pounds and 5 grains total spread.

While this wood averages a little heavier than cedar, the barreling seems to maximize efficiency and the test arrows hit the same aim points as lighter cedars.

This species, indigenous to Australia, has a grain structure similar to Ramin, but is much finer like birch and straighter than either.
They come VERY straight, straighten easily and take a nice finish.

Dimensions:

5/16" nock end, 23/64" mid-shaft, and 11/32" fore-shaft at usual cut lengths.  The mid- & fore-shaft vary slightly with lighter & heavier spines.

They typically require 11/32" points, but may use 5/16" or 23/64" points for longer or shorter lengths, respectively.  The nock end is tapered for reference, but will need to be re-tapered for best nock fit.

The spine and weight are marked on the sides of the individual shafts - easily sanded off prior to finishing.

Shafts are sold in vacuum sealed dozens only.  The seal may be broken if we feel the need to double-check spines prior to shipment.

** Two thumbs up from all of our test shooters!
I'm sure you will enjoy absolute satisfaction with this product and predict wide acceptance of it.
