Nice arrows Nick.  I would hate to be in a tin can and have those shot at me.  :o

here's a couple. top is a hazel shoot from a copice stool.  bottom is american black walnut (102 grams).  both are fletched with dropped canadian goose feathers, shape is cut by following the grease line. hazel is still a bit wobbly down the length (but improving), goes where it's pointed but likes to scan the area on its way  ;)
