The Advantage of Port Orford Cedar
There are two main reasons many archers still choose wooden arrows despite the availability of modern synthetics: a genuine passion for natural materials and the competition rules of many traditional classes. Especially in longbow divisions, wooden arrows are often mandatory – and cedar shafts are the clear top choice. They remain straight for a long time, offer quick stabilization in flight, and provide a warm, traditional shooting experience that carbon cannot replicate.
