Well, I'm a little surprised and perplexed.  ::) I make the Reparrow footings. I don't suggest anybody else do it,  but I have used them for nocks and created entire arrows of Reparrows just to see what they would do. Never had one raise a splinter under any circumstance.

But what puzzles me is that on this site the main objection ought to be that they are not the LEAST BIT primitive! What are y'all thinkin of? (I have to say "y'all" now that I live in Kentucky)


This one is not actually a Reparrow because I made it with the standard nock taper instead of the point taper. If I could find a quick way to make the nocks, I'd use these all the time, because I do like the look.


Cheers,

Jim Davis

PS. Jawge was one of the first to try out Reparrows four or five years ago and he's had a few more to try since then.

Jim, if it's handmade from wood, it's primitive enough for me!   ;D

Primitive is not quite a religion on this site, although excommunication for use of f/g has been discussed on more than one occasion.

Jim, could you crank out a set of short "reparrows" specifically for making nocks?  I dunno, call 'em Re-nock-o's?  I think I'd like a set of arrows with walnut nocks!

JW,

It would be easy to make short Reparrows, but I think they would need to be long enough so that your nock would not cut into the taper. Wouldn't actually matter, but might look funny down in the bottom of the nock ....

I could make them with the nock taper, but it would be  a completely separate setup from the one for point tapers. I don't think there would be enough folks willing to carve their own nocks to make it worth that separate setup...

hmmm...

Well then I guess I have to buy the full sized Reparrows and cut 'em off to make the "Re-nock-o's"...or be a lazy sod and leave 'em full length.
