Best Arrow (or Set)......Vote March 20, 2009
alnbren:
I forgot. I guess you need to put me into the neo-primative class on all the sets because I tied off many of the points with artificial sinew.

Albren, My goodness you do some VERY fine work!!! I was making a set to enter, but not after seeing your work. No way I can compete with that! I love your painting and footed shafts. Thanks for sharing.
JackCrafty:
Excellent arrows alnbren!! I'm always impressed by footings....especially those. Very fine craftsmanship.
And flecha.....I'm sure we would like to see your arrows regardless! Please post them!

By all means please post. Remember my arrows were not entirely made by me. I basicaly just assembled them. The hard part (making the shafts) was done by a real craftsmen whom I ordered them from. Since I assembled and painted them, I've found out that the fletching and the footed shafts are not historically accurate either. It's OK though because the kids don't seem to know the difference. Maybe one day I'll make a real medival set after I can afford a real yew English Long Bow too.
Hillbilly:
Here's a couple of Cherokee-style arrows I made a while back. Completely primitive. Shafts are native river cane sealed with bear grease. Two-feather wild turkey fletch tied down with deer sinew, flint points hafted with pine pitch and deer sinew.
