Primitive Arrows For This Year
« on: March 26, 2014, 01:19:51 am »
Here are some arrows that I have been making for hunting this Year. So far Oregon Elk, NWT Caribou, and Possibly Siberian Moose(waiting on visa and invite), are on the list of Big Game. Going all 100% primitive for Deer and above mentioned species. Have to get them all in before this arthritis thing cripples me to much...Have another 6 obsidian points to make arrows for and will probably make in excess of 8 dozen arrows for these trips..On Top of the dozens of dozens made for other people...The obsidian hafted shafts are right around 780 grain and the flint hafted shafts are right around 700..Any lighter and they more than likely won't blow through the heavy bone and muscle of the animals I will be hunting,,,enjoy

I am using a mixture of Poplar and Ramin wood for the shafts....The two unfletched ones are waiting for feathers. Have been down with the Flu and Pneumonia so I am a bit behind on arrow making and other tasks...

In case anyone have never used Ramin wood, It is a great material that spines real heavy and is almost indestructible. It gives the density needed for heavy shafting, and is as light as Poplar..Puts Sitka spruce to shame as far as durability...Just don't tell anyone as it is a secret in the arrow making world...LOL

Those look great!  I wish I had my arrows done for this year...
Good luck with the hunting trips.  Elk and moose are both on my life to-do list.

Those are very nice.  The only improvement I can see is to add some blood to them.  Good luck with them.

It's about a 4 hour drive for me.  I live in southwest AL near the MS line, about 60 miles from Tuscaloosa.  Are you coming to the classic this year?
