New Batch of Dowel Arrows. Turkey Fletch.

[Slackbunny]

Just finished up the last of these arrows this morning. They are just simple 3/8 inch dowels from Home Depot. I needed to whip out some quickies for a bunch of HHB kids bows that I am giving away next week. The feathers are turkey feathers. (The plain black are the secondary and the black and white are the primary is that right?)

Anyway, I left them blunt because there's two brothers who are most likely going to try and shoot each other with them, and I won't be responsible for that. I'm taking my taper tool, some glue, and some field points with me and if the parents okay it, I can just put the points on them right there. They are all made custom to the length of the bow they are paired with to ensure that the bows don't get overdrawn.

Here's the pics, what do you think? I feel like I am really getting this arrow thing down to a science.

Looking really good there.

Nice arrows, but you might want to wrap the tips with something, even electrical tape. They will split if you hit a hard object.

That thought has been running through my mind. I won't use electrical tape, but I might do something.

Ya might try some of those "extra" pencil erasers from the dollar store. pretty effective while they last and cheap.

 . . . . or screw some wing nuts onto the end for a nice small game point or a regular nut for a blunt.

I think I'll keep them as is for now, because I may be adding field points to them soon enough anyway.

Brilliant,Halfeye!
Slackbunny- I knew you wouldn't give those kids their bows without any arrows That would just be cruel.
