Home > Arrows and Arrow Making > Rose City Poc

Widely available and for good reason, the most popular arrow wood, the combination of lightness and strength means that this is the option many archers choose and are available in all diameters, the lightness means that for many archers who shoot with 40-50# bows they can use an 11/32" shaft or a 5/16" shaft depending on whether they put strength or weight as their main priority.

For UK archers a long shipping journey and the possibility that they may have been stored for some time and be less than totally fresh sometimes means an issue with straightness, happily they are easy to straighten

Consistancy in quality, spine and weight means that many archers swear by them and won't use anything else, I have many good sets made from Rose City poc but they are not the final word in arrow shafts and to limit yourself to one type would be a mistake, there are more shaft manufacturers out there and depending on what you want the arrow to do it could be that another might suit better.

Magazine

Magazine We were very pleased to give our support to the James Whale Kidney Foundation shoot which we cover in this months magazine. We were also contacted by Lars Pilø with news on the archery related finds on Jovfonna, and while we couldn't get out there ourselves Lars kindly filled in some background information for us.


A mixed bag this month, me in the South West, Geoff putting the record straight, a chat with Keith Stay and the wisdom comes from South Cox of Stalker bows. 

We take a tour the length and breadth of the British mainland to visit Scotland with Border Bows, Yorkshire with Aidy Hayes, the Wirral with Jason from thelongbowshop.com, down South with the Company of Canterbury Longbowman, and Geoff is in Spain.
