The timber used for the arrow shaft I produce at this time is Scots Pine (Scandinavian Redwood) structural grade finishing timber. The supplier(s) only supply me with FSC & PEFC certified timber. Chris used Scots Pine for over 30 years after spending 2-4 years of research and development when he first started to work out what was the best timber to use for arrow shafts. With that knowledge and info that is why I use the same timber.
Some thing to consider with regards the timber used by Dal’s Archery, it should not be grouped with other Pine shafts. Norwegian Pine is a different timber and a different tree all together. You will find Norwegian Pine to be much light and can act differently to Scots Pine shafts. With regards to Spruce shafts these are as light as Norwegian Pine if not a little more lighter. Due to the fibre structure with in Scots Pine (Scandinavian Redwood) used by Dal’s Archery you will find that arrows shafts are a little more durable, but this is only if the shafts are matched to you and your shooting style.
