  Nice arrows. Who are you and what are they. ;)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Howdy Mullet, and thanks. I'm just an old guy from Pa. Love to make BBO bows and wooden arrows. Those are river cane shafts with Osage nock and point end inserts. I hunt deer with those. A guy whom I never met, sent me a dozen of those cane shafts from South Carolina.

Thanks, it did come from down there. An older gentlemen from Trad gang sent them to me. His name might have been Matt, can't really remember now. Pat B, do you remember who I am talking about? I think you were posting in a thread with him and I once. He used to be a really great shot, but the older years took it's toll on him.

Roy, Right off hand I can't remember who he is. The years are working on me too.  ;D   If I remember, I'll let you know. Was it on Trad Gang that we had the conversation?     Pat

Here's a set I made earlier this year. Don't know how to classify these- River cane and hill cane, self-nocked, wild turkey fletching wrapped with combination of deer sinew and nylon thread, stone points hafted with pine pitch/deer sinew, shafts dyed with rit and finished with Tru-oil. The oddball one on the left is all primitive except for the acrylic paint. :)
