The challenge in making the Hexshaft was to develop a wood arrow shaft better than any other in the world. The answer to this required a blend of traditional knowledge and modern engineering experience. This resulted in the strongest and most uniform wooden shafts ever made.

Archers across the globe sought for a way to enhance the natural qualities of wood, and improve the consistency of arrow strength and uniformity. In making the Hexshaft, lodgepole pine is selected specifically for its strength and straight grain. The design of the hexshaft allows the entire surface to have edge-grain, giving superior strength and completely eliminating the feathering effect of flat-grain on regular arrow shafts.

The shaft itself is made from six individually machined triangles, all from the same piece of wood. Extremely-low-tolerance engineering enables the laminating process to produce superior shaft strength which is higher than that achieved if it were a standard wood-dowel arrowshaft. In addition, each shaft is individually examined to ensure quality control.
