Ball or rock shooting arrow

[fiddler49]

 I made a ball shooting arrow with all natural materials. Raw hide funnel and slider, Slider stop is waxed linen thread. Moose lace and a rabbit fur drag. You just pinch the very ends of the moose lace between index and middle finger. The lace is just tied around middle of rabbit fur with over hand knot. The arrow weights 700 grains, .57 cal lead ball weighs 300 grains. A .49 cal ball weighs 220 grains. I use a bit of birch bark tar poured into the funnel hot to hold raw hide to arrow shaft.
The rabbit fur drag stops the arrow in less than 3 yards. The .57 cal balls have enough energy to go threw 6 inches of foam board at 10 yards. I put two moose lace lines on sides of slider to make the pull more centered. I think this is an excellent addition to the quiver when out small game hunting or just plinking.  cheers fiddler49
