Spruce is becoming increasingly popular, especially among 3D archers. It is about 10% lighter than cedar shafts and roughly half the price!
In addition, spruce has excellent flight characteristics — thanks to its light weight, these shafts are much faster than heavier woods such as cedar and northern pine.
This advantage becomes particularly noticeable at longer distances.
Natural product
Since wood is a natural product, wooden shafts will differ slightly from one another — not in diameter (this is precisely manufactured) but in appearance and internal structure.
For example, not every shaft is perfectly straight, equally stiff, or exactly the same weight.
The spine value also varies, which is why wooden shafts are generally grouped and sorted in categories with a tolerance of 5 lbs.
To ensure as much uniformity as possible, all shafts are hand-spined, checked for cracks, and straightened by hand.
Custom spruce shafts
We supply shafts in full length, 32 inches. For many archers, this length is too long and the shaft will need to be shortened to the desired size.
We use a special cutting machine that allows millimetre-accurate trimming — guaranteeing shafts that are perfectly equal in length and cut straight.
Weight-sorted shafts
For even better shooting performance, we can, for a small additional fee, sort the shafts by weight within a tolerance of one gram or 0.5 gram.
We do this in groups of up to 12 shafts.
If you order more, we will divide them into groups where the weight differences are as small as possible.
