bunch of poplar shafts..

(1/4) > >>

aero86:
so i went through an insane amount of poplar about a month ago and found 2 dozen good shafts.  fletched them all up the same day as well, but no points.   didnt know what i wanted to do with them, field points, stone points, metal points.. 


i was going to initially use homemade broadheads.  but then i found these little guys.  they are an inch wide and weight roughly 100 grains



total arrow weight is about 360 grains.  not a lot of mass.  but the feathers are just turkey feathers trimmed.  i used fletch tape and applied them by hand and then glued down the ends with some duco.  the heads i put on with the good hot glue..

George Tsoukalas:
360 gr with the points or are you talking just the shaft weight. Jawge

sonny:
If they have self-nocks I'd strongly suggest that you wrap 'em (just below the nock) with some sinew or strong thread set in superglue.
 

sailordad:
nice looking arrows,but man thems light
what weight of bow are you gonna shoot them from?

personally i would only use them in light weight bows(30-40#) for target shooting
waaaay to light for me to hunt with,especially with a heavier bow

aero86:
thats total weight.  with the feathers.  the heaviest bow i have is 47lbs.  and my 2 others are around 40.  ive only shot one of them so far.  flies pretty good from ten yards.

i think i will try some oak shafts next for some more weight.
