Design Story
" Hexshaft Arrows
are six-times better
than any other! "

HexshaftArrows.com has been developed by the two original designers of the machining process which makes the hexshaft arrow shaft possible.

Avid traditional archers themselves, Jake and John Wiebe had been making standard one-piece lodgepole pine shafts, yet were not satisfied with the inherent disadvantages of standard wood. Then, during a meeting with Dave Richardson in Alberta, Canada, Jake was shown a rare hand-made exotic arrow shaft made in the '50's, comprised of 5 pieces of bamboo & 5 pieces of hardwood. In discussing this unique shaft it was agreed that if a process could be designed that would efficiently reproduce this inherent strength and durability; it would be superior to all others - but could it be made affordable to all archers worldwide?

In a moment of divine inspiration, Jake drew on paper the design of what the world now knows as the Hexshaft. Years of development then followed as he and his brother John developed the process, and the machinery which allowed the production of these shafts on a large scale. Today, the patented process which allows this unmatched quality and uniformity of Hexshaft arrows continues to provide the world with superior shafts at economical prices.
