aero86:
if you make them right, they will hold up.  ive got some arrows that have been shot over 100 times.  ive had some missed shots too, and ive yet to break a shaft.

Bill Skinner:
Missed shots?  You must have let somebody shoot your bow, was he a compounder?  Bill

Tim B:
When you wrap sinew under the nock are  you using hide glue to keep it in place or something like superglue?

sailordad:
when i make primitve style arrows i sue sinew but no hide glue
i chew the sinew to soften it,the saliva in your mouth and the sinew make its own glue
i believe the chewing action release protien from the sinew,this mixes with your saliva and thats how it maks its own glue

after it is dried fro a few days i do use,clear fingernail polish to seal the sinew
i do that just to keep the humid summer weather/damp fall weather from causing my sinew to soften when i am out shooting them

ozarkcherrybow:
If the nock end seems too small for self nocks, make up some antler nocks to fit into the cane. That is how I make all of mine....Terry
