Yup, its a crapshoot. If your only option is to use mail-order and it needs to be better (lighter) stuff, you have to
order Sig contest wood or pay extra from BUSA or the like. Or just hope you get decent stuff in a random bundle.
Usually though what you get is 10-12lb (or worse...) stuff these days. I troll the racks at Michaels and anywhere else I see
balsa searching for that elusive light 6-8 lb stuff.
