Two fletch
Pat B:
Dogwood will stay as straight as any shafting. I have a red osier arrow I made many years ago that is as straight as the day I made it.
And speaking of straight...your shoot arrows don't have to be "carbon shaft" straight either. As long as the nock and point line up and the arrow spins true it will shoot true. I have made some pretty crooked arrows that will hit where you are looking every time. I wouldn't hunt with some because the crookedness would impede penetration but some I would hunt with.
Below are 2 examples of crooked arrows I have made. The bottom arrow is only a wall hanger. Out past about 10yrs it goes haywire. The one with the red fletching is quite a shooter. I gave it to Bernie Dunn.
recurve shooter:
thats really neat man. and what do yall mean by "spin true"
im assumeing that it means that once you got a point on it, stand it on the point and spin it, and if it will spin for a second or so, its good. am i right?
sailordad:
basically "spin true"
means that both tips spin in the same circle,regardless of the rest of the shaft
pat love them wobblers 8)
Pat B:
RS, I spin every arrow on the tip of my finger before I shoot it, no matter what head I use. I can feel the least amount of wobble through my finger tip.
stickbender:
