1st rose shoot arrow

Hey guys!  Well, like I said in another thread, I don't really know if this is a wild rose or multiflora shoot, but I havested it about 6 mo. ago.  It takes quite a while for these things to dry out.  I know it isn't totally primitive, but I do love fletching tape. ;D  I guess I'm taking baby steps toward more and more primitive methods.  I did split,grind, and chop the feathers from some turkey wings given to me by some of my friends this past spring.  I decided not to stain the shaft, and only coated it with tru-oil.  It surprised me that it was as heavy as it is-528gr. with a 100gr. point and 28.5" long including the point.  Well, what do you think?

Looks similar to some that I did last year. How does it shoot? I was pleased with the ones I did that were in the 520's and they shot great even with some slight imperfections.

To tell you the truth, I only finished it a few minutes ago so I haven't been able to shoot it yet.  My 2 boys have 2 friends over spending the night tonight, and they're kinda blocking my shooting lane in the basement! :)

Don't worry about the baby steps. Get the shaft right first. All the rest is "glitter".  You did a good job on your rose shoot arrow. It really doesn't matter what kind of rose it was. What matters is that it makes good arrows.  ;D   Pat
