I have seen cedar arrows do some remarkable and forgiving things and survive the shot with no flaws, surely to have rendered an aluminum arrow useless. I still shoot to this day, a few cedar arrows that I made back in the eighties, each have made complete pass throughs on buck. More than one tree did they leave thier Grizzly broadhead in. One of them did I take both a buck and Tom Turkey with. The tom expired in fast time propped standing, leaning on the cedar arrow coming out his front with only the nock and fletching still in his breast plate holding him up. This arrow I shoot still. If you have a cedar arrow that is special, please share it's tale.

Have tons of them from Custom king when they were the only gave in town. All my blacktails I shoot with those ceadars. the longest and shortest. 10 yards at a huge buck, stuck on the shoulder bone and broke off. The same buck came into the field looking for the buck that pricked him. Sent a 600grn cedar through him at 40 yards. The elk was shot with a cedar.

I seen that spine shot elk picture before.

Those animals are top in my opinion. Even better taken with cedar.

The spline shot did not kill it. It was shot in the front chest burried to the fletch. the spine shot was dispating shot as Andy thought it was still kicking

Thanks Gary, pure bowhunting it is, in the big timber and ferns

What a trophy! I love that photo and envy the forest type you guys are hunting..I assume that's in Washington?

Yes. It seems you are really a fan of the cedar. I can see why. They are easy on the eye. Cedar smells good. And they seem to have a soul to them. I too love cedar, but there is always a need for aluminium too. I have some old aluminium arrows that have been through a lot and seem to keep on going.

I can't wait to see the next cedar arrows you make.

I like them in addition to aluminum and even the old fiberglass. I do like the warmth of wood arrows in cold weather and they are a pleasure to work with. I won't commit to just one type of arrow though since I'm much to fickle for that. ;) Love cedar though.

I have had only one wife but many arrow shats of diffrent material. like wood the best. got me to thinking on who does footed shafts so I googled and yes Rose city does footed and tappered. Ordering 4 dozen. After looking at the rose city site I may start building arrows and reparing what I have in my closet. With a 160 grain cutthroat single bevel up front and 625 grains a great elk arrow.

I like cedar arrows, and make my own. I've shoot numerous different woods, both softwood and hardwoods. I've also shot aluminum and carbon. But cedar is still my favorite and for now cedar is all I shoot. Cedar is easy to straighten, it's stains good, it's fairly straight grained, and you can get it in light to moderate weights, it smells nice, and it is fairly durable. Nothing wrong with aluminum, carbon, or fiberglass, but there is something special to me about a well made cedar arrow.

I have seen many works-of-art arrows here and most were wood. I guess it's more of a committment, so why not pretty 'em up?
