For all the heavy weight shooters that use wood arrows, any recommendations on where to find shafts for a bow around 80 pounds? Thanks.

Well 80 is actually a little over shot of what I actually have. I actually have a 75# rd longbow that I would like to shoot wood arrows out of. I draw right about 28 maybe a hair over with it. I had an 82 pound schafer silvertip that for some reason I drew a little longer than the longbow but I always wanted to shoot wood arrows out of it but like you say it was really tough finding some spined that high and I never did end up getting any. Mike.

Might try SherWood. They mite have some Doug Fir in that range. Otherwise Forrester makes hardwood shafts from some neat woods. You might try and get hold of arrowmaker. He had some heavy old stock cedars for sale. Maple and ash make heavy shafts. Try Twig Archery.

Any of the reputable shaft suppliers should have no trouble getting you what you need.
You MAY have to shoot 23/64" shafts, which is really not a big deal, but some folks have a phobia about that.
Just contact some folks.

I buy 3/8” Hickory Dowels, stick them into my 1/2” Dewalt driver, spin-sand and taper them down to 23/64”or 11/32”. Do the same thing to the other end and I like 5/16” nocks. I shoot those out of my 70# HH Big 5 and two other 70#+bows. I also bought some vintage Acme poc’s from the footed shaft that spine 70+. Both fly just fine out of my 70#+ bows.
