'09 hunting arrows

Pat B:
Last year Hillbilly posted a matched/unmatched set of arrows and each arrow had different shaft material. Well, this is my version...and my hunting arrows for this year.
  Four hunting arrows with four different native plant shafts, all from my property. One is hill cane(A. appalaciana) with my version of a two fletch, another is sourwood(Oxydendron sp) shaft with Cherokee two fletch, one is viburnum(V. prunifolium) with a standard 3 fletch and the last is silky dogwood(C. amomum) with a tangential 3 fletch. All have tied on feathers(all turkey but tangential is goose) with sinew wrap( no glue). Shafts are all self nocked and have knapped points hafted with pitch glue and sinew wrapped. All sinew wrapping and the shafting is sealed with pitch varnish. The knapped points are from 4 different knappers I believe but I can't remember who made what. I believe I got all of them at the camp-o-rama this passed July.
  My hunting bow will be one of last years bows...yew self bow with hand rubbed bear fat finish and pulling 47#@26". All of these arrows shoot well from this bow and hopefully I'll get the opportunity to dye one of them BLOOD red!
almost forgot the pics....

Those things are camouflaged so well I can not even see them.  How will you find them to shoot them Pat??????

Pat B:
Hopefully they will be sticking out of a deer when I go to retrieve them.
  I just reposted with pics.
