I completed these arrows a few weeks ago. Tapered at the front and rear and at the nocks, sinew wrapped, trade points, only thing not true to form is i used Spruce shafts as opposed to shoots. Still happy with how they came out, and i was surprised at how much penetration the trade points had on a 1" thick stall mat. My native american friend in WA contacted me to make some for their naming ceremony. I was honored. I do like how well these fly with their long feathers:)
