 Here are a few pics of the arrows I made up this afternoon With Charles' Fletches. I had 3 white ones left over and thought I would put them on. The 4th one is all Charles'

 Not yet :( Got hem fletched and had to take a break. The stitches were starting to hurt pretty bad. :'Even my wife said the feathers  look good, and that's saying something ;D  I think I'm going to use duplex nail points and make target arrows of them. ;)

Damned fine arrows, Mark. Really like the "bulous" string knocks as well, very classy looking, sir.

Good looking arrows.  What stitches?  Are you OK?  Bill

Bill...I was cutting some cane for arrows with my box knife in my right hand and holding the cane in the left. The knife cut through the cane and I was pulling too hard with the left, and the cane edge came up and cut the meaty part between my index finger and thumb :-[ Got six stitches and a learning experience ::) I'm using my little hacksaw now ;)....Mental note...Do NOT cute cane at an angle while pulling up with the opposite hand  :-[

Glad to know you aren't hurt bad.  I have found that a serrated knife works better than a smooth edge, I saw it off.  A pair of pruning shears works the best, just cut flush with the ground.  Bill

i agree with bill.  pruning shears are best.  buy a good pair though, dont go cheap, i wore a cheap pair out!  course, when its easy to cut, you end up bring a lot more home!lol
