Hog Arrows
« on: December 01, 2007, 01:17:35 am »
the points from eddie came in the mail yesterday and i couldn't wait to tie them onto the cane arrows i've had waiting on them for several months.  hadn't had a chance to weigh them but i'm guessing around 650 - 700gr.  the shafts are made from sasa bamboo, one of my favorites because of their thick walls.  this speicies of bamboo is very easy to straighten.  as soon as the sinew cures i'll take them for a spin to see how they shoot.  i'm finishing up an osage static i've been working on especially for our hunt the end of dec.  in the case are 18 cane arrows i have in reserve.  enjoy!

Great arrow Chris.  They look like they have serious blood letting capabilities.  >:D  Good luck on your hunt.  Justin

Chris,
Those look real nice.  I can't wait to hold one in December.

BTW, what's the purpose of the longer feather section one of the fletchings?
