All of the wood shaft suppliers I'm familiar with top out around 70-75 lbs which will be too weak at 72 lbs draw weight with a 32" arrow and 250 grain point. A quick search for heavier spine wood shafts turned up Forrester Wood Shafts. Never heard of them before and have no idea if they're legit or where they're located. Their site shows wood shaft spines over 100 lbs, so may be worth looking into:

Thanks. I’ll give them a look. I think I read something about Ash shafts being fairly stout but after the emerald ash borer issues I’m not sure about availability anymore.


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
