so, ive post a bunch of my arrows within the last couple of weeks.  ive had two up here at work with me, just shooting them, and they mostly hit the ground when ive tried to hit my targets!  haha.  anyways, they have held up decent, except for the sealer i used on the rear wrappings.  i dont know if anyone has any other ideas, but you can see how in one of the pics how the rear of the feather has pulled out.  these have been shot about 30-40 times.  the heads are just nails with weld on the head, and ground down.  cleaned out the shaft of the bamboo with a drill bit, wallowed out with a knife a bit, pushed the point mostly in, then put a bit of hot glue underneath the head, then quickly pushed it in.  i havent wrapped them either.  ive yet to have any split problems.  ive shot a rotten board it went through it and shot a solid board and it bounced right of.  i feel confident that they would hold up through more shooting.


maybe you can see the straightness of them.  the one on the left was the one i shot at the boards.  the one on the right is bent a bit at the first node.  they just need some minor straightening.

recurve shooter:
thats wierd. super glue? lol idk. im not an much of an arrowmaker. yall would laugh ifin ya seen mine.  ;D

aero86:
i think what ill do, is once ive got a few wraps around the vanes, ill lift them up, and put some superglue under them, then wrap them the rest of the way.  and then seal it

huntertrapper:
super glue works good. im tryin more and more to not use it; just sinew. but when i dont have sinew i use superglue

aero86:
yeah, i dont use sinew, so ive gotta use something! haha
