very nice  i wish i could  learn to cut the  knocks that straight. ;D

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw them!!

Outlaw...   you've got some seriously long/deep nocks on those!  From the grouping it doesn't seem to affect the flight any but I have to ask if there's any chance they could be affect?  Perhaps some snagging on the string?

those are beauties. sweet job with the homemade feather burner. I bought some bamboo from lowes. how did you get the horrible green dye off of them?

I bought the ones that weren't dyed green.

excellent work! How do the duplex nail heads work for you? I've been thinking about trying some ( always used empty casings on my stump busters, but they don't work so hot on a target)

I really like them so far.  I have been shooting them into my Block target with no problems.  I like the heavy weight up front on the arrow.

     Hot Dang, boy, those are saweeet! :o  Excellent job! 8)  Forget the duplex heads, and put hunting heads on them, and bring some meat home! ;) ;D

      :o Just had a flash of genius, which is usually what it turns out to be, "a flash" ::), but anyway, I have some square Plexiglas, and got to thinking about turning some down into bullet style points.  I could wrap the fore shaft in nylon, or rayon string, and coat it with super glue.  I would think it would hold up great for foam, and hay bale type targets. ;)you could put a section of nail in the shaft, for weight.  In fact you could even get the proper weight of a hunting head.  Just weigh out the nail section, and put a little glue on it, and put it in the shaft, and then insert your Plexiglas head, on top of the nail section.  Well, I "think" it would work.  I don't have a lathe, but I could use my drill, or drill press, but I am packing everything up, for my move to Montana.  It should turn a lot easier than bone, or antler. ;)
