Justin Snyder:
Arrow idea sounds great mullet. Pat since we are shooting for 50# and everybody knows we always get the exact weight we aim for ;) should we start the sourwood shoots for practice arrows. Ill put reinforced self nocks on them and fletch them. Did you have another idea for the field points or should I just put on some regular points? Or if someone wants something to do to participate, I can leave the points or fletching for them. Justin
Skeaterbait:
Something like this. Give me your thoughts and be honest, I am a big boy.
Obvisously this might not work with the backing we end up with so again, I am open to thought and ideas.

I think it would look good.

Skeaterbait, I love the concept but lets wait for the finished bow so you can decide on the combination. Those tip overlays will add a touch of class.
Thoughts on the arrows...I had thought of doing 6 arrows but with 3 differant woods; sourwood(Oxydendron aboreum), privot(Ligustrum japonicum) and buffalo nut(pyrularia pubera). I thought this would give a good representation of our available natural arrow woods. They should have 3 stone points(one on each type) and a target point on the other 3. Cowboy has offered to make and send the 3 stone points and I will make the 3 target points with the metal strips(and idea) Kenneth sent me last year. If anyone wants to haft the stone points they are welcomed to do so. If not, I can.
Steve Parker has also offered cane arrows. We can split that up too...and the type of cane is up to the builder. Pat
Pat B:
Another thought I had...Pappy and Greg could save any cut offs from the guava stave and that could be cut into the spine material for the arrow's self nocks or fore shafts. Just a thought at 1:02am! Pat
