spining party
« on: December 16, 2013, 09:00:21 am »
Paul and I  bought between 3000-6000 arrows at an auction. Some were spined but most are not. It is a bigger job than I first thought but will be well worth it when done.
Our group is dedicated to passing on the tradition of archery to people in this area and will use this cache to provide free arrows to people who build bow with us.  We had a cashe of wood and now we are set on arrows.

Nice score, although it does look like a lot of work!
