Latest batch of arrows

[Shiloh]

Just threw these together today when I had some free time. They're POC shafts, with 145 gr. field tips and my janky hand-cut fletchings, since I'm too poor/lazy to buy pre-cut fletchings.  The field tips are roughly the same weight as the broadheads I plan on using this fall to hunt blacktail, so I guess these could be considered "training" arrows.

You should wrap right below the nock with thread or something. I have problems with splitting ceder arrows(both ERC and POC) with bows over #50
Looks good! let us know how they fly!

Orient the grain of the arrow 90 degrees to the nock and you wont have that problem...

I'd definately add a wrap below the nock no matter which way the grain is runing.

That for sure is the safest thing. I should rephrase and say you are less likely to have that problem...

for handcutting those fletchings they are done very well!

yep, besides wrapping you might want to clean out the cut in the self nock jest a little more too, make it as smooth as you can,
every bit helps to keep the string from wearing and the release to be the smoothest it can be! might even put some TB11 or TB111 in the nock

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll probably end up wrapping the tips and end of the fletchings with some string serving.

use thread or artificial sinew, they are cheaper and thinner. just coat in glue;)
