Just got some of these in and so far not too impressed. Out of 12 I've already snapped two with my hand held taper tool and a lot of nasty cracks and creaks coming from others. I have never broken a Port Orford Cedar shaft tapering the nock or point end. Torsionally they are very soft and flexible and very easily twisted along their length so much so that I am actually a bit scared of shooting them. Just waiting for a few feathers to arrive but I will risk bareshaft testing them this weekend. I was impressed with the spine matching - six of these are 45-50lb and five showed 48 on my tester.
They may however shoot amazingly well - I will let you know how I get on.
