nothing like 5 minutes! i was just saying i got my time down from like an hour. using a heat gun really just heats up one spot, so i found if i wanna straighten a gradual bend, i slowly move and rotate the area in front of the heat gun, then bend it out. then it straighten out the small spots.
also, i got my feathers and fletching chopper in today! its a lot of work prepping the feathers, i had forgotten! anyways, most of the feathers ive done so far, ive gotten at least 2 fletches out of it, so im happy. also, i took one of my canes and stuck some fletching on it with some super glue, which works so well! now i just gotta get my artificial sinew from work to wrap the ends, and put a point on it. then ill post a pic.
