Homemade arrow shafts
« on: May 21, 2012, 06:06:39 pm »
I kinds got my cart before the horse i posted them for trade and i didnt post them in the arrow section. i have made several and they shoot well for me, was just wanting some other input on them not alot of people shoot trad. archery around here little lone make there own arrow shafts. they are made out of poplar. I shoot a 31" and the shafts weighs 450 grains. makes for a hard hitting arrow.

White pine makes rather good shafts just make sure the grain is strait and no knots.
