Finally finished!

(1/6) > >>

Lloyd:
I finally finished my swallow tails. I finished the 1st one almost 6 months ago, and I just finished the last of them. These are by no means a matched set.
The weights go from 1200 to almost 1800 grains. Two of them are almost an inch longer than the rest, the long ones are 36.5 with a draw length of
33, the rest are 35.25 with a draw length of almost 32". 5 of them are fletched with peacock feathers, but I ran out of white peacock so the last one is
fletched with 3 turkey feathers. All are ash and fletched with 9 inch feathers and bound with red silk. 5 of them are 1/2" barreled to 7/16 at the point and 3/8 at the nock.
The other one is 7/16 at the point and 3/8 at the nock.

Loki:
Stunning!
The whippings incredibly neat,i hope to get mine as good as that one day  ;D.
Is the binding under the nock necessary or just for show? i didnt think it was needed if your adding a horn insert,i never put any on my last ones  :-[.
I can imagine the fletches sticking out of six dead destrier's  :D.


Happy Solstice folks!!
