flu-flu small game arrows
sonny:
Well I haven't finished a bow since last summer but recently got the itch to make some small game arrows as squirrel season starts on Sept 5th.
So here's a dozen flu-flus- seven of which are self-nocked ramin dowels (the best I could find at the hardware store where I bought 'em,) the rest are crown dipped cedar that I've had around for a while.
There's one on the left that's flipped upside down to show the steel blunt.
....now that I've gotten my arrow-making "fix".. maybe I can finish a bow before archery deer season begins in early Oct. :D

btw the self-nocks are reinforced with a silk wrapping set in super glue.
Hillbilly:
Those oughta do the job. What kind of blunts do you like for squirrels?
sonny:
I've never hunted just for squirrels but hope I can connect using the steel blunts I used on these arrows.

Sonny, the simplest and cheapest small game hear I have used is called a nutter. It is a plain old hex nut from the hardware store threaded on to the tapered end of the shaft. I usually add super glue but it is not needed. The end of the taper sticks out of the nut for penetration and the nut adds the shock.
Every squirrel l I've shot with one hit the ground dead!
Nice looking arrows, by the way! ;)
