« on: June 17, 2007, 09:07:08 am »
finally had some time to myself so i made these. granted it was 4:30 this morning so they dont look great. witch hazel shafts. the white and tan points i didnt make . at 25 yards i had to refletch two of them after shooting 2 rounds cause i shot the fletching off. roughly 600 gr. peace

Dang they look good to me. Maybe I should do more of my arrows at 4:30 in the morning.  I like the way you wrapped the sinew so far up the shaft from the point.  Justin

Cool arrows Jamie. I can already imagine blood on the all. ;)    How do you like witch hazel? I have lots of it on my property but have only thought of trying it. ???   Pat

  Cowboy,I came up with a little trick for cutting fletching straight.I made a cardboard blank of the fletching I want.Then just hold it beside the feather and cut with the shears along the straight edge.works good.
