Actually, these are the first arrows i've ever made. I've put together some wood arrows from bought shafts and fletched tons of carbon and aluminum shafts, but never actually made any.
These are from some cane I cut a while back. They are not matched by weight or spine. I had these in the house by a heat vent and they dried out pretty fast so I figured I would practice on them. I spun some osage dowels out and put a 1-1/2 plug in both ends, tapered the point end and cut self nocks in the other end. I wrapped the nock end with some heavy thread then soaked it with super glue and fletched them with some turkey feathers. I know super glue ain't very primitive, but I wasn't necessarily trying to be primitive, just cheap!
Of the six, four of them shoot pretty good. They all may be a little stiff for the 47# bow I shot them through, but I just wanted to get a few made up so I would have an idea as to what spine would shoot well from some of my bows. Saw Filer
