hi guys, just wanted to show off my 1st set of primitive arrows. they are douglas fir shafts. the points were given to me by woody blackwell. the feathers are turkey primaries. the points are hafted with pine pitch and sinew. they all have self nocks. they are finished with bee's wax. these are for dead buffulo testing...(see my other post on here).

Very nice work.
If it was me I may have put a little bit more sinew around the heads, but that's just me.
Still you have a great set of arrows there, I wish you all the luck with them.
Thanks for your time.

Nice work Clint. I'm with Cromm, I'd put a bit more sinew at least behind the point. On a critter as tough as a buff a few extra wraps is probably warranted.
I'm looking forward to your experiment. Take lots of pics!

Nicely done, looks like you di some fine work on those self- nocks also, interesting to see your penetration results:)
