First attempt cane
Bowjo:
Well I straightened some cane today.Cut and ground turkey feathers and smashed and seperated some sinew.I know these first ones look a little rough. I hope I can improve a little,working with the slimy sinew is still tough for me.Now I gotta lern how to do foreshafts.
Bill Skinner:
If they fly striaght, it doesn't matter what they look like. And FWIW, mine looked worse, but flew great, so I lean towards function has its own beauty. Bill
aero86:
think they look good! i love cane, and its what i started out on. you shouldnt need a fore shaft for them. ive shot 100's of shots with my cane arrows, and never had any problem, as long as i hit the target. now missed shots, lol, they would break anything! if your worried about them looking rough, just trim the fletchings a bit, to even them up.
Pat B:
Nice arrows and as said if they shoot well who cares what they look like. I guarantee the deer doesn't. ;D
Bowjo:
Thanks everyone...The only reason That I am going to try a short foreshaft is to put on a few field points for practice.If I used trade points or other heads for hunting I would use them for practice.I knap all my stone heads and hate to practice with them :o..I am fairly new to knapping and it takes a while too....Joe
