Arrows from Fiberglass Tubing
« on: December 25, 2012, 04:49:20 am »
I have also thought of making light arrows from fiberglass tubing. The fiberglass arrows I have bought are too stiff. Has anyone tried 1/4 fiberglass tubing? I see several websites with reasonable prices for them.

Again, these would be for my daughter, 12, using about a 20 lb bow.

F F Fiber what?  No speekie that language.  Just run down to Lowes and get some 1/4" poplar dowels.  Check the grain to make sure there aren't any run outs.  She won't need anything lighter than that.  I may have some poplar shoots that are that light if you are interested.  Maybe even some wild rose too.

I am going to try that too. Lowe's here has fairly decent poplar dowels. I can order 1/4 points & nocks from 3 Rivers. Am doing that & will strip feathers from some old broken arrows. I have also started collecting goose feathers from a nearby pond.

Thanks
