Apache Style Phragmites Arrows

<< < (8/8)

JackCrafty:
Donnie, the book with all the arrowheads is: The Official Overstreet Identification and Price Guide to Indian Arrowheads, 10th Edition.  The book with the illustrations of Apache equipment is:  Bows Arrows & Quivers of the American Frontier by John Baldwin.

Shooter, a jungle, huh?  Dang....where do you live?  I'm lucky to find small patches here and there.....

Stoker:
great points! them arrows keep looking better and better. Thanks Leroy

JackCrafty:
Thanks Leroy. :)

Just a couple things I didn't mention during the build-along:

All the arrows you see that have guinea fletching are almost exactly 3/8" across the shaftmet just above the node (assuming you are looking at the arrow with the point upward).  The nodes are a little narrower: 5/16" across.  The thickest part of the arrow (where the forshafts are inserted) is 7/16" across just below the taper.

Also, you need to scrape or sand off the waxy coating on the spots where you apply glue or paint.
