Those are nice!  I still have the one you helped me make (more like I just gaped in wonder while watching you do it). :)

Great looking arrows Pat. Maybe I should color them for you so you don't get worried about ruining your pretty new arrows.  8) Justin

Justin,  The only way to ruin these is to hang them on the wall. They are made to make meat! ;) I pulled the osage satatic recurve out of the utility room today and she shoots these arrows very well. So, now I have the yew and osage to hunt with and 3 (for now) arrows  cast.  The way my luck has been these last few years 3 will be plenty! ;D
  Thanks Armando. Time to make another ain't it? ;)         Pat

Nice looking arrows. I really like the two fletch method. I found an article in volume 4 that demonstrates this, I think a Cherokee Two Fletch. Good job

Nice work as usual Pat. Beautiful arrows. How did you burn the fletch. I have been wanting to do up some totally primitive fletches with no feather choppers or fletching jigs, I think a stick from the camp fire with a glowing ember would do the trick. Good luck on your hunts.   Kenneth

Kenneth, I have an old Young Feather Burner. I bought new ribbons and have 2 or 3 different sha[es I burn.   I believe the Natives probably used a hot ember from the fire to shape their fletching or they cut them with a stone blade. 
  Tracy. They fly very well. I have been experimenting with different shapes so mine are getting farther away from the originals.      Pat

Pat,
Good looking arrows. I like the looks of the 2 fletch. Has anybody done a how-to on it yet? Looks a lot quicker than a Bitz. :)
