I reckon if they fly good, it's all good!  Doing things different is the one thing we all do the same.   Josh

Historically I think it was done the way you are doing it. Steve Parker(Hillbilly) tought me this trick and it works just as good as the original but the feathers do seem to lay flatter back down. He may even have a build along in the "How To" section or a post here in "Arrows". Do a search. Steve may chime in this weekend. He's been very busy at work and with family activities lately and not been on PA much.
  Both ways work good so it is another personal preference thing I guess.  ;)

  Cherokee, did you make those shafts from raw material?

Thanks Gun Doc.

Pat I will definitely try that way next time.

TurtleCreek im not really sure what you mean by raw material but I cut viburnum shoots last winter and let them dry for several months.  I just got around to making these practice arrows and a couple hunting arrows this September.
