Finally got my first done.  Well not counting that goldenrod shaft and mud head I stunned
a bird with out of my treehouse at 20 paces when I was a kid.  The bird ended up flying away.
Knapped the point out of onondaga chert found some local bamboo and used sinew to tie
turkey feathers on and point along with hide glue.  Rubbed the shaft with a decomposing
walnut husk for some camo Arrow 800 grains good enough for a buffalo I figure.  Flew straight
and hit my foam target hard.  Need to try to shorten my fletching area up on the next one as
the feathers rest on my rest before being drawn.  Happy with it and no trouble with the shallow
nock.

When I resized cut some of arrow off and you cant tell but its a three fletch.

Boofus:
nice arrow! i like the point. you could always move the fletching back a little bit so that your feathers don't touch your bow, it looks like you got some room to play with. Gotta love that bamboo! They make some tough, tough arrows huh?! Thanks for sharing!

stickbender:

     Nice! 8)  Like Boofus said, you can move the fletching back some.  Nice arrowhead. 8)  Should do the job! ;)
