Is there anyone here that lives near there interested in making arrows for a group of Cub Scouts?  Send me a PM if you are

Isn't anyone able to do this?  There is a woman that has contacted me looking for 5 arrows to be made for cub scouts.  I just don't have the time to do it.  This is the message she sent me

I am searching for arrows to use on a Arrow of Light Award for a group of 5 Cub Scouts (I'd need one for each scout). They will be transitioning into Boy Scouts in Feb. and this is part of their award. I know nothing about arrows. I am looking for one with an Indian head-shaped arrow tip, 24 inches long total and preferably with blue or gold feathers, although the color should be authentic-looking...which may negate the blue and gold option. Thank you so much for any help or direction that you might give me!

I can send the some obs points if somebody can make the arrows, i'm really slow making arrows, I can ship the points wherever, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

i assume that the arrows are not likely to be shot, thats good, because i can makes some shafts if anybody wants to send me some real feathers that are precut i can use sinew to wrap them on and then i can send them out your way. Let me know what works! i can have them done fast btw.

I should say that the shafts i have are some nice ceder shafts that i am willing to part with, they were turned and are 3/8ths thick, even if they were to be shot they would be durable.
             ~Oh and if anybody can help with shipping that would be great, if not, im sure i can manage, but it would be highly appreciated!

Hey folks,
I live just north of MSP but have not yet put together an arrow, although it is on my soon to do list.
I have been in contact with Soy who lives south of MSP about 45 minutes and that is the only other bowyer I have talked with around here. Not much help I know, but if there is anything I can do let me know. Now or in the future.

I found this post cause I was looking for some others near where I live so if you happen to find any on the north of MSP, let em know I' up here in Lindstrom Mn.

Thanks for all the free lessons ;)
