Dowel rods

(1/4) > >>

CodyCoyote:
Im new to making arrows but im making a bow So i will need arrows, can I buy dowel rods from a hardware store and use that for arrow shafts? I cant find river cane to use.  Also how do you fletch your arrows? Do you use a jig or wing it? Will crow wing feathers make good fletchings? I didnt save the feathers from the turkey I shot.

ZanderPommo:
you'de have to spine them (match their bendieness to your bows draw weight) or it could be a dangerous thing to do

im gonna order bulk dowels b/c i just built a spine tester, they work fine if spined

CodyCoyote:
Any other cheap easy way to make arrows that wont blow up on me?

ZanderPommo:
