dragonman:
even nicer, much nicer.!!!  what type of knocks are those Pat?

Pat B:
They are self nocks, made with maple I think. That is Art's work there. All I did was fletch them.  ;D

Pat B:
These cane arrows are also footed with the same wood as the nocks. This method of footing was an experiment Art was trying. It is a tapered fit as was his usual but with these arrows have no wrapping at the joint of the cane and maple. You can't feel the transition seam but you can see the color change.

dragonman:
cool arrows, that cane must be petyy strong then to not split on impact? what average wall thicness does it have? are the footing designed so that they can be replaced or aret hey permanent. I dont know if that type of cane grows over here? i'm gonna look into it because it looks like nice arrow making material I'll bet its light

artcher1:
Dragonman, you need cane with at least medium thick walls for that conical foreshaft to work. Here's one that had an unfortunate accident (hit an iron stake) and as you can see, the cane fared quite well. Not so for the foreshaft, it split. Foreshaft was replaced and the set given away. No one the wiser ;D. ART
