Hanging arrows to dry
« on: May 11, 2016, 02:33:32 pm »
I was coating some arrows and hanging them to dry, and got to wondering. How do you hang your arrows to dry when finishing them?
Below is a how I hang mine using a sheet rock screw and string, I just screw the screw in the knock and hang via loop on other end of string. Ed
It's in my blood...

I use this idea. Works great. Not my idea, stole it from here.

I do similar to DC.  I have a frame with a fishing line strung from post to post.  I use a cloths pin to grip either nock or point end of the shaft, dip, let excess drip off, and place on the fishing line to continue to drip for a while (overnite, usually).

I have a piece of foam insulation that I just stick the point in standing arrow straight up you can use the same holes over again broad heads just stick them in the foam too.

I made a dip tube just like the vid and the only thing I'm going to change is to put a drip rack over the container so the initial drips go back in the pot. I'm a cheap SOB and just stand watching all that finish dripping into a rag ;D

I did similar to the above but used small screw eyes and hung from a cloths line I set up in my shop. I also strung cloths pins along the cloths line and clipped the shafts to a tapered end with the cloths pins.

  I  tie a slip knot to the slot cut for the broad head. It gets cover up when you tie on your head so you never see any marke's the string makes.
