Loki:
Hi peasant!

duffontap:
Man, those are some very nice arrows.  Are those swallowtail heads vulnerable to breakage during practice shots?  Absolutely beautiful work.

Ha, ha.  Mistaken identity huh?  Well, welcome anyway.

Loki, I'm not sure the nock binding is necessary but I figure better safe than sorry. Practice (a lot) makes perfect (kind of). :)

Pleb, no I didn't countersink the whipping, but some of the fletchings have fairly thick quills, and on those the thread did sink in a little. So there may be some countersinking but it was entirely accidental. The thread is definitely sitting on top of the shaft. That thin silk thread can be treacherous. If you wrap your bindings too tight it can actually cut through the feather. Hence the running out of white peacock feathers before the set is done. :-[

JD, yes they will break if they hit a hard target. And then I will cry like a baby. :'( Then I will swear like a sailor. >:(

Marlon, now that those are done I can concentrate on yours.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I'll post more as they are finished. I have some type 7s in the works now, and then probably some lightweight (a mere 700 grains or so) 3/8" galling arrows with type 8s I think. If anyone has any 9" goose or swan they want to trade let me know.
