Primitive arrow
« on: September 24, 2013, 11:42:23 am »
Here's a primitive one: 520 grains total, local silex, sinew, grey heron fletch, ground iron ore and coal pigments, and a arrowwood (viburnum lantana) shaft.

I don't think you can use heron feathers legally

I like the primitive look of this one!  I'm surprised you can get heron feathers in Switzerland.  How does it shoot?  Is there any hunting over there?

Hey sweetpa, it shoots better than I expected. It's my first stone headed arrow, that's why I'm proud enough of it to post it here  ;) The head is not as thin as could be >:( so it stands being shot. And to my surprise, it flies quite straight after about 20 feet.

But with the large fletch it does not fly too far, and on the next one I'll try mounting the head 90 turned, so it lies flat when the arrow is nocked.
