3Rivers Tapered Saxton Elite Arrows Review

3Rivers Tapered Saxton Elite Arrows represent a time honored spirit of archery. A classic look consisting of a tapered shaft for speed and clearance. These arrows signify the importance of well built quality and expert craftsmanship with an elegant look. In the words of Saxton Pope "The flight of the arrow is symbolic of life itself." Each arrow is made using our 11/32" diameter Port Orford Cedar shafts with a 10" taper at the nock end.

The shaft for each arrow is stained a golden oak color with a dark walnut cap and sealed with a durable polyurethane finish for longevity. The complimenting crest is done by hand for a "true" custom look and feel.
