Hand Planed Matched Pair
« on: March 07, 2010, 01:42:37 PM »
Made a pair of 815 grain hand planed oak arrows. Self nocks, tied on four inch left wing fletching. I only had the four inch feathers, but they will not be used for broadheads, so they fly ok. When they hit the target, you hear a thump, and they really get in there; shot out of my fifty pound self bow. The orange dye makes them stand out against the background well enough.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Thanks Hillbilly, and Riarcher. Just simple hard hitting arrows. I need them for 3D shoots, because when everyone else is hitting those nice targets, I am hitting trees, rocks, and such ;)

Nice arrows, makes you hit the target better when you know how much time and effort go into those arrows.    Kenneth
