Hi Robert,
Now I understand, thought I had missed a find. will have to take a look at the site you purchased it from, isn't it wonderful the things people will say in order to make a sale.
Craig.
CraigMBeckett:
Had a look at the site of the people you got your bow from, and was amused to see trhat as well as your "Welsh Shortbow" they sell:
50 pound "Warbows",
All wood YUMI's at a maximum of 35 pound,
Bows from the days of King Arthur in 2 forms one at 35 pound and the other the "Battle Bow" at 50 Lb.
MMMMMMMMMMM!
Craig.
Robert E. Leet:
Thanks for all the help! Also, I figuered I'd ask in this thread instead of starting a new one. Is it at all possible to use chicken feathers for some experimental arrows? I have a few pheasant as well as hawk arrows that I have set aside for fletching, but I was hoping to use thoughs for nicer arrows when I get better at making them. Until then could I fletch with chicken feathers?
El Destructo:
Really ...any good long Primary Wing Feather will work for an Arrow...it is just that some are going to be tougher...and last better than Others will...Chicken will work...along with Goose...Pheasant...Domesticated Turkey....Duck...even Raven and Crow...and Grackle Feathers will make a Fletch
sailordad:
well i make my heads out of stone,even though i cant hunt with them
but i have bought some metal braod heads and have made some from steel too.
for fletching i use turkey and goose primaries and secondaires.pheasant feathers once in awhile
i use these beacause i can obtain them pretty easy.
we have a high turkey and goose population so its just a matter of walking the woods for turkey feathers and hunting them,goose feathers i
walk aroud ponds and such where they hang out and find them.i dont hunt goose but friends do and the ygive me wings one and awhile too
i know an area where swans migrate to for the winter,must be over 1000 of them,i plan on going there sometime in the spring and see what i can find
