first foreshaft arrow
Coo-wah-chobee:
....Very nice Pat. Another "convert " ta foreshafts. Workee good dont they.? I have been using em since, well ............ "as old as dirt"........ except I dont glue the foreshafts so they can come out in the critter. Good job on that arra ! ;)..bob
Pat B:
Thanks Bob. Yeh the conversion was slow but I like the way this one shoots. I guess it is the extra weight forward. By gluing the foreshaft in I was hoping it would break loose once in the critter. That's what Chris Cade told me at least. ;) Pat

Nice arrow I like the fletching job.
Pat B:
Rick, I am really liking the primitive fletching styles. They work well and utilize feathers most folks get rid of or don't mess with. These are from secondary turkey feathers but I have made good fletchings in this style with feathers that are only 4" to 5" long total. Laying three feathers around the shaft with their backs to the shaft and wrapped fore and aft is all it takes. I usually also add a little helical twist to these. Great for survival situations as well as regular hunting. Pat

Pat-
That is 3 whole feathers (both sides of the quill)? I think I'm going to have to give that a try sometime.
