    I just finished up fletching a dozen arrows out of these shafts. I picked them up because I was looking for some a bit heavier than Port Orford cedar and something that would stay a bit straighter than the ash shafts I have been shooting. I was quite pleased when I pulled them out of the box, all were very straight with one exception and it straightened up pretty easily. Upon weighing the shafts out there was about a 30 grain difference between the heaviest and lightest so I was pretty happy with that (for a bit of recreational shooting it won't matter to me). After shooting them all a few times they group pretty consistently. As for durability I did miss the target bag with one and bounced it off the apple tree a couple yards beyond the bag with no apparent damage to the shaft. I like them well enough that I just ordered another dozen shafts to make up into a new set of hunting arrows.

    Good shafts

    Out of a dozen all were straight. Two out of twelve broke both were my fault. Good sturdy shafts.

      Shafts were as described needed a little sanding to get totally smooth to my standards, and accepted stain well. Now time to put the rest of the parts together.

      Overall I'm pleased with the shafting sold by 3R
      Today 02/08/13 I bare shaft tested my latest batch. 50 55# spine weight)
      and those with the second to heavist and heavest FP seem to fly best from my bow. I left the shafts full length and they measure A tad over 31 3/8" from BOP with an overall length of almost 33"
      for the majority and the rest were durn close to that final measurement.

          Comments about Douglas Fir Wood Shafts:

          I got these to try my hand at crafting arrows, and was overall pretty pleased with these shafts. I got 75-80 lbs for myself and 45-50 for my wife. The shafts were all within 20 grains of each other for the spines, but the 45-50 required a fair bit of straitening. They have stayed strait since so that's a definite plus. They will require a fair amount of sanding as there are some really rough portions left on. I made these self nocked and properly wrapped have had no problems with them splitting. However, I have already broken one within four months, which makes me question their durability a bit. The nice thing was that these have flown pretty close to perfectly since I finished.

          Still, these turned out to good shafts and am planning on getting more soon.

            Good looking shafts that are heavier than cedar but not as heavy as the hardwoods. Makes a nice inbetween weight arrow. Finished with a 200 gr. head weighs about 700 gr.

              Used an oil-based stain and a polyurethane finish, and fletched my feathers with Duco. Came out AWESOME! I've ran them through bales, against chain-link fence, and through the neighbor's shed wall (oops!). Haven't broke a shaft yet, and the fletching is still pristine, except for one feather on one shaft, which is getting a bit torn up. I can't wait to hunt these!
