New user, new arrows. aka Hi everybody :)
« on: January 09, 2011, 03:05:29 pm »
I just signed up to PA after having read the posts for some time, and lo and behold, registerd users can view the images ;D Good stuff

Anyway, here's some arrows:









26" grooved hazelshafts with heathardened blunts and turkeyfeathers bound with moosesinew and hide glue.

I was going for a colourhappy indian look, but I feel I may have ended up with the colourblind indian look instead ::)

I like the color blind indian look. Those are fine looking arras, how do they shoot ? (Being kinda light on the front). I sort my arrows by how they shoot fro my bow before fletching or points are added.
 Welcome to P.A.  I am working on a bunch of hazelnut shafts myself right now. I am just drying and straightening right now.Maybe some pictures next week of completed shooters.  "  Frank

Glad you decided to get officially signed up, nice arrows.  I have made some with those "buzzer" fletches once in a while, I like the sound they make coming off a fast bow!

Thank you all for the warm welcome :)

@ Sparrow: I dont know how they fly yet since there's 3' of snow covering everything over here, and arrows don't float on snow ::)

Normaly I make the shafts, shoot them, group them, haft points then feathers and then do cosmetics. Simply because this is the most timesaving way of making arras ;) No use doing hours of cosmetics on a stick that just won't fly :)

But now I just wanted some arrows with realy long feathers ;D and also to try out the pointybuzzer things. So they are more "sticks with feathers" than arrows :)

Hazel is a realy nice arrowmaterial btw, probably the best we have in Norway, at least when it comes to arrows from shots.
