triton:
 ;D I've managed to hang on to mostly the same arrows for about 8 months now.

YewArcher:
Your doing good!

youngbowyer:
I don't use a ruler but it was just a tip i just thought of. I try to get the whippings nice and spaced too. i usually mkae 2-3 sets a year depending on my parents as they sometimes go,"what! you need more arrows again, you just ordered stuf" so some times i only have like 7 arrows to shoot with. Yeah i lose a lot of them and sometimes break em when i straighten them.

Rod:
Steve,
They are supposed to look even and consistent. That is how livery shafts were done.
Instead of using a ruler, you can hold a pin and count and pick apart as you go along.
If you like them irregular, take a look at the whipping on the so-called replica English shafts in TTBB4 and tell me what you think of them....
Rod.

YewArcher:
opps, sorry there fellas. i forget how precisly you need to say things on these boards.  ::)

I like them that way for my personall arrows because they are quick and easy to do. I shoot a LOT and loose a LOT of arrows so do not spend much time on my personall arrows. thats not including all the arrows I loose at expos and shows when people try and shoot them at shows.  I sell these, I make these for US warbow entusiasts and when i do I make them consistant. I did mention that already.

Often I find myself regretting even posting on these boards as It seems that people just love to find something wrong with what you are doing and feel the need to coment. 

I will remove my photos as to not offend your superior tastes by looking at my "field" bang around arrows. So sorry for troubling you fellas with my shoody craftsmanship.

Steve
