I have a friend that is going to a shoot down in Florida then end of Feburary and is going to shoot in the all primative class.  Now Alan can shoot a mean bow, so we are hopeing he will have as good of luck with these.  All are Jap Arrow bamboo, 29" to BOP, self nock, hand ground turkey feathers, and wrapped in silk thread.  If he don't shoot good, he sure will look good.....lol.  Good luck Alan.

looks good. do you just scorch the nodes to make them look like that?  i kinda like the look, and would like to do that to some of mine.

stringstretcher:
aero86.  Some of the one's that I do yes, I scorch them for looks.  Others just happen to come out like that when bending.  I use a open flame to heat mine and use oil to help keep the scorching down.  Most of it is done just for looks unless it is a real stubborn area.

aero86:
oh, alrightie.  guess thats why mine dont do that!   i use a heat gun.  thats a lot of twist on those feathers. 

Canoe:
Howdy Stretcher,

Wow, those are some top shelf arrows you got there.

Do you make a lot of arrows, and do you have an area in you shop set up just for arrow making?  How do you spin the arrows while wrapping the threads around the nock and feathers?  Are they in a sort of jig?  If so, I'd like to see a photo of that.

Thanks for sharing,
Canoe
