you're an artist ! love seeing that nice quiver full too.

red koolaid...who-a-thunk? but seeing little koolaid stained little cheeks running around all summer
i guess maybe It should be obvious!

kool-aid-not my idea. it seems its been used for feathers for some time. i just recently found a "recipe" for doing so. cheap n easy.

thanks guys-your comments are appreciated

Post by: bowtarist on July 11, 2011, 08:13:19 pm: Good lookin' arrows and quiv. I'm gonna have to give the kool-aid a try. I saw that used a couple of weeks ago on here too. Gotta be cheap, and looks good. Nice job.

Post by: Patches on July 12, 2011, 03:56:23 pm: What are the field points made of? I am finishing my first set of cane arrows this week, and was wondering what was the best way to make field points.
Title: Re: first cane arrows...
Post by: sadiejane on July 12, 2011, 04:42:26 pm: they're duplex nails with the leading head ground off and to a point. an idea i got right here from hillbilly61. they make great target points for cane shafts, and good for stumping too. glued em in then did a wrap of artificial sinew from the head back about an inch.hopefully that will keep the shaft from splitting if i hit something hard. i've heard they make good small game/bird points too. tho i have yet to try em on a critter.

Post by: Hawkeye1974 on July 12, 2011, 08:55:03 pm: I was wondering did you make the quiver or purchase it?

I bought from where? I made do you make them for purchase or was it a personal thing?

made the quiver. have made several. this was the latest one. had a few for sale at mojam.
had the most amazing luck with em actually. a fella named randy from texas has a sweet owl bow made by ed scott. traded two of my quivers(not this particular one) for that bow. lucky gal i are...

if you are indeed interested in that quiver shoot me a pm. thanks
