My latest design for birdpoint foreshafts...
I'm really proud of these and have already bagged a
nice, fat pheasant with a prototype.
They're Black Locust shaped on a lathe with a threaded
piece of hardware that I don't know the name of. I flared
the four points out about 45 deg and put a heavy duty
rounded tack in the tip. After breaking countless foreshafts
at the transition from foreshaft to insert, I finally thought
to drill a 1.5mm pilot hole and put a small nail to reinforce it.
I haven't broken one since. They're totally solid!
Thanksgiving's just around the corner so I'll be fitting these
to Japanese arrow bamboo shafts, nocking and fletching so
I can bag a few more pheasants for the big meal!
If I remember, I post pics of the finished arrows too!
Thanks for looking!
Japbow.
