Sparrow:
Looks like a serious shooter. Nice !  '  Frank

sander:
Thanks boofus stick and sparrow good to hear from you.  Going to leave the fletching alone
not too hard to lift arrow with my finger when shooting to clear the rest.  Save some sinew
that way for the next one will make some changes for sure.  Before I decided to tie the feathers
down with sinew I was going to glue them down with hide glue it wasnt sticking well on the
bamboo I had lightly sanded the bamboo but maybe not enough?  By the way when I was a
kid it was a 15 pound bow didnt think I had a chance to really hit it and I was glad when it flew
away. 

aero86:
definitely need to roughin up the area of bamboo your gonna use glue on.  has a natural finish on it.  with my fletchings, i put them just forward of my fingers on the string with a shooting glove on. 

so on your next arrow, put the shaft, with nock cut, on the bowstring, put your fingers on like your gonna shoot it, and see what you have to work with on feather placement. 

sander:
Thanks Aero yes that is how I need to do it and see how big my brace height is.
