Those are incredible...

Are the nocks self nocks?  It's so difficult to tell.  A build-along on those (or the next batch) would be much appreciated!!

Hey guys!!  It's me, David's better half!!!  El D, I don't know about an Arrow Makin Goddess, but I try my best!!
Yes they are self knocks.  I really appreciate the compliments.  I try my best!!  David has been a big help to me.  If it wasn't for him, I would know NOTHING about building arrows.  He has taught me a lot over the years.  

Mullet!!   ;) :D ;D

Hey David.  How high and how long are you cutting those feathers?  And that is what they call the
"traditional style" right?

Ken, I talked to David a few weeks ago. I think they are regrouping. I know he and Cora will be at the Tenn Classic but other than that I don't know what to tell you.

Pappy and I was talking about David a few weeks ago.  We was wondering if they were coming to the Classic.  You heard from them Pat?

David said they were when I talked to him a few weeks ago, Jon.

Great to hear they're still in the game and regrouping!  I was looking for a bow blank a while back and thought of David's but couldn't track him down.
