Shaft is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 7 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Shaft is to buy it: Dargaud's Bows and Arrows in Ranging Guild sells it for 12 coins.

Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: Skeleton (Tarn's Lair) (level 72), at 5/128 (about one every 2 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 1 Fletching and gives 5 Fletching XP, using Logs. There are 2 other recipes below. Making ten takes 10 × Logs and gives 50 Fletching XP. 2 recipes use Shaft, including Headless shaft and Spider on shaft (raw). Shaft is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 7 coins, which is 5 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
