Pappy:
I have had that trouble before I now sand them good to get the finish off the cain and they seem to hold much better. Nice looking arrows. :)

good idea pappy. makes sense. i was leaving the natural finish on, but if i gotta refinish anyways, might as well. good on ya! and thanks for the compliment!
aero86:
lost one of them. hit the top of my target, skimmed off and skipped under the grass, somewhere. cant find it! but pretty decent i think

Howdy Aero86 and group,
Hey!! I went to the BigBox store (HD) today, and I found 6' boo garden stakes in packs of six.
So, once I got home I pulled one out, cut it in half and then gave straightening a try. I used a small oil lamp as heat - (I pulled the wick out a bit and it produced plenty of heat.) Anyway, I got the two pieces much straighter than when I started. They're not perfect yet, but I worked on them only about a half hour. (Then the wife smelled smoke... I won't be straightening boo inside the house any more.) ::)
So, now I have to find a way to figure where the arrows is inside each six foot section. Do I go by diameter alone, or can I check spine before I straighten the whole stick?
Aero, those are some really pretty boo arrows. I'm sorry to hear that you lost one, but that's going to happen. Thanks for your guidance and encouragement.
All the Best,
Canoe
Oh, BTW, I picked up a really nice Red Oak board while I was at the HD, It'll make a dandy bow. ;)

Go by spine. Some are more dense than others. I would suggest a heat gun. 20 bucks at home depot and you can use it for other things. Don't worry about me loosing one, I've got about 20 more waiting to be shot! And thanks for the compliment, ill be making lots more once oneeye gets his shafts
