This is my first sample batch and I need to check them to see if they are within agreed tolerances, check weight, check diameter, check straightness, check spine etc before placing a bigger order. I am looking at a deal that will see me as the sole dealer for these shafts and the worldwide dealer for longer than 32 inch shafts for japanese ya arrows etc. My aim will be to offer good quality durable shafts but it is early days with this supplier who knows bamboo but not arrows.
I am away on holiday next week so this will take a while longer. It would really help me to get the supplier up to speed if you could tell me what you would want, what you feel would be a fair price in the US or where ever you are etc. My next order will be for around 800 shafts 32 inch shafts so that will be the main initial order. Aiming to be ordering in thousand soon! (the wife will be pleased with a thousand shafts on the kitchen table!)
when I get back from Cornwall (look it up it's gorgeous) I'll put a dozen or two on ebay to see how they go.
Sorry to tept you but they will be for sale shortly via ebay and hopefully dealerships near
