Those trade points look deadly. Once we figure out how to consistantly make cane arrows, think of all the money we'll save by not buying shafting.

Ya it is cheap,but lots of work,I don't guess this stuff is supposed to be easy . I am
pretty slow at it right now,Just glad I got some together to hunt with.

Now I can
finish some bows I be putting off and work on some more Cain this winter when it ant fit
to do anything else.I do like the way they fly tho.

Your arrow look awesome. I just fletched up on Tonkin cane arrow with a trade point yesterday. Going to see if it will go straight or not this morning. And you are right Pappy, it is all a labor of love.

Look like they ought to work to me. Do they have plugs in the ends? Justin

What type of steel did you make the trade points out of ? I made some a couple of weeks ago out of .040" spring steel , I hopefully will be able to try them out on some deer this fall !!

Catfishon they are around 650-700 grains, Justin, they do have hard wood plugs in them on both
ends. J. they are 50/1000 band saw blade. I see no reason they won't do the job,I have used
160 grain ACE for years and there ant much difference in the size hole they should make.

very nice arrows, pappy. just one question, the front part of the fletching (where it's higher than the rest, not sure what to call it) isn't that noisy? i always liked the appearance, but didn't do it because i thought it would make the arrows louder.

Pappy · « **Reply #13 on:** August 07, 2008, 05:34:07 am »

Everybody has ask that and the answer is no,I can't tell any difference.They are quite as a mouse.
The way I shoot they need to be so I can get off more than one shot.

I'm sure those arrow's combined with your huntin' ability are sure to make meat! I look forward to eating some of it at the club this fall!
