Poplar arrows
« on: August 07, 2013, 09:18:58 am »
Here's a dozen arrows I finished a week ago. Bought the dowels from lowes for about $14. Decided on a corral snake patern, the main reason behind it being high visibility and losing arrows less. They're 50-55# and 550grains, been shooting the hell out of them. Love these arrows.

Started with 3/8" dowels and scraped them to the spine and grain I needed. I used some AMG feather fletchings and then burned them to shape. These are 4" long four fletching.
