think im ready to go stump shooting! finished up the field points at work, and got them attached. when i get my other bamboo from the two other people on here, and my feathers, im gonna have to give these things away! btw, yes, those are more bamboo shoots next to my pvc quiver, im seeing how long it takes me to make these things. yes, i have a big problem..
thats 4" crammed full.

If you are getting shafts from Home Depot, it is Tonken. So just sand the nodes down to nothing. Won't hurt a thing.
riarcher:
I see you're experimenting with your nocks. ;)
Find a preferance yet?
aero86:
well, ive tried a couple different ways so far. i think it looks best cut at an angle, then filed, but i like the added thickness with the nocks cut straight into it. i like the extra meat, you might say. just my preferance though. also, when i seal my fletch wrapping and self nock wraps, i seal the ends too, just to keep the outside pulling off into little splinters.
thanks mullet. i am glad to have more confirmation. ive had good luck with sanding them down a bit, ill take them all the way down then.
well, from 7pm to 8pm, i went through the 6 foot sections, culled out the ones that were too thick, straightened them a bit between the nodes, then straightened the nodes a bit, then cut them to length. 815 started bath time, but i got all the nocks cut and most of the shafts straight, except one. just needs a bit more tweaking. i should have brought the other field points home to install in theses shafts as well. i will have 5 total. so far ive got 1.5 hours into it.
aero86:
so heres my end post. so, i probably have about 2.5 hours total, after sealing it and adding 10 minutes for adding the points tomorrow. i think thats pretty decent time
