New batch of target arrows
« on: March 11, 2013, 06:22:35 pm »
I had to finish some target arrows to take to Hedgeapple's get-together.  Bamboo shafts, turkey feathers, selfnocks painted white, and duplex nail points.  I dyed the feathers with some green kool-aid.  I left the cock feather plain.  The wrappings are heavy duty outdoor thread soaked in superglue 2x.

Those shafts look kind of familiar. Is that some of that N.C. stuff?

Some of them are from you Old Hippy.  I had a mixture of shafts that I made up and about half of them were from you.

Those white self nocks really class up an arrow. As soon as I make more that will be taken under advisement

I was hoping the white nocks would make them easier to find on the rare occasion I miss a target  ::)

Why did you tie the front of the feather and not the back?  Just for your hand protection or another reason?  I am too symmetrical to ever let myself get away with that.  I would do both or none.  That is just me, though.  I assume they are glued so it is just for looks anyway, right?

They do look real nice.  I like green.

The feathers are glued on.  I wrapped them in front to add a little protection from them coming loose.  I don't feel there is a need to wrap the back of them.  It would just be added weight.  I also wrap in front of the self nock to keep it from splitting.

Thanks for the reply.  Very nice.  Love the idea of setting the nock off visually.  How do they fly?
