BINGO! i found some old screw in field points and threw em on with the oh-so-primitive dental floss, electric tape, and elmers glue.  ;D

Pat B:
Primitive means using what you have to work with to its best ability. Sounds like you did that!  ;D

recurve shooter:
yup. i walked outside and shot em bare-shaft last night, and of the 4 that i have nearly done, 3 flew perfectly and stuck in the ground at about 10 yards, nocks pointing strait back at me. the fourth i had left about 4 inches to long just to see what happened. gunna cut it down, finish the other 3, and fletch them this weekend. i'll get up pics when they are finished. thank yall for all the help.

recurve shooter:
been working on em some more. aint gunna get around to fletching this weekend, but i have 14 shafts now, just need a little final streightening and some screw in points and they'll be ready for the fletchings. i been in grandpa's shop for the last two hours with a dremel and a belt sander working on nocks, and got em all done and working well. hopefully it'll be points tomorrow, and fletchings soon.

i think i may have made them a little to stiff, but for my first ever batch, this is comeing along very well. thank you all for your help.
