Beskydy Spruce Wooden Arrow Shafts – 10 pcs

Beskydy spruce arrow shafts are natural wooden blanks for archers who want to build their own arrows and match them to a specific bow, draw length and shooting style.

Wooden arrow shafts

A shaft is the core wooden component from which a complete arrow is built.

Points, nocks, fletching and surface finish can then be selected according to the intended setup.

Beskydy spruce

Spruce combines relatively low mass, flexibility and good workability.

Because it is a natural material, individual shafts can vary in grain, density, mass and stiffness.

8 mm shafts

The 8.0 mm option is close to the traditional 5/16″ shaft size.

It can suit many conventional wooden-arrow builds.

8.7 mm shafts

The 8.7 mm option is approximately equivalent to 11/32″.

It provides a larger shaft diameter, but does not automatically mean a higher spine.

Lengths from 26 to 34 inches

Current options are:

• 26″,
• 28″,
• 30″,
• 32″,
• 34″.

Length should be chosen according to the archer's actual draw and final arrow design.

What is spine?

Spine is shaft stiffness.

Two wooden shafts of identical diameter can still have different stiffness because natural wood varies.

Spine-tested shafts

A spine-tested option is available for archers who want better control over shaft stiffness when building a matched set.

Weight sorting

An optional weight-sorting service is also available for the corresponding variant.

Reducing mass variation between shafts helps create a more consistent arrow set.

Longbow arrows

Spruce shafts can be used to build arrows for longbows when spine, length and finished mass are correctly matched.

Traditional bows

They can also form the basis of arrows for traditional recurves and other traditional bow types.

Horsebows and horseback archery

Selected shaft variants may be suitable for Asiatic horsebows and horseback archery.

Longer draw lengths make correct arrow length especially important.

Building your own arrow

The shaft can be completed with:

• a suitable point,
• plastic nock or self nock,
• natural fletching,
• wrapping,
• protective finish.

Shaft inspection

Before use, inspect every shaft for:

• straightness,
• grain direction,
• cracks,
• splinters,
• knots,
• structural damage.

Final Summary

Beskydy Spruce Wooden Arrow Shafts – 10 pcs, Ø 8 / 8.7 mm provide a configurable base for building traditional wooden arrows.

Current options include:

• 10-piece packs,
• 8.0 or 8.7 mm diameter,
• 26–34″ lengths,
• spine-tested or non-spined shafts,
• optional weight sorting.

The key principle remains the same: shaft diameter is not spine. A well-matched wooden arrow requires the correct combination of length, stiffness, mass and bow setup.
