new hill cane arrows
Pat B:
I needed a new set of arrows for the Classic...so I hope 6 is enough! ::) Hill cane shafts with self nocks and sinew wraps, five are 2 fletched with one 3 fletch. These were only tied fore and aft but after shooting them I opted to add fletch tape to about 3" of the center of each and it cut out the noise. I also burned these shorter just to see how it would effect the flight and now they fly great!!!
The points are Kenneth's "nail" heads glued in with TBIII and they work great too. I decided to try them without a wrap just behind and so far they are working fine...but I haven't hit a tree or rock yet either. ;D The sinew wraps are sealed with super glue. Here they are...simple but effective!

artcher1:
Nice arrows Pat! Hey, I notice you orient your shafts 90 degrees off from what I use. Do you notice any difference?

Timo:
Nice Pat! Like that nail idea....I guess I missed the how to on that one?
Pat B:
Art, I don't always pay attention to that. I have numbered each one so I can experiment a little with each one to see what is the most effective.
Tim, I'll look for pics I have of the points or take another one for you.
Little John:
Tim, I take a 16 penny nail and braze weld a gob on the head then grind and file to a target point. Works real good on cane and bamboo arrows. Kenneth
