Home Depot Garden Stake Bamboo Arrow Build-A-Long (Pic Heavy)
driftingrz:
I bought the pack of bamboo from lowes probably a month ago and finally made up a few last night. gave up on trying to find my heatgun and resorted to a candle.. tedious but i needed some arrows.. what good is the bow i finished if i dont have anything to shoot ;D
got the straightened.. sanded nocks cut and a 2 feather turkey fletch done.. only had 24 fletchings so im gonna make quite a few beater arrows till i get good with traditional equip.
anybody else have field/target point ideas besides the duplex nails? i dont really have a way to sharpen them without spending an hour on each point by hand... anything store bought or homemade?

38 special cases are pretty good for blunts and if you like they made a whole topic about homade points that's got some pretty good stuff
hedgeapple:
You can buy glue on field points. If you go this route, get different diameter points; bamboo tends to come in a variety of sizes.
OR, you can use screw on points since bamboo is hollow. But you'll most likely need to file it down some to get it to fit.

I thought about regular screw in points but wasnt sure. Might try those on next batch

Glad I saw this thanks for posting I was just thinking of a way to test the spine weight and make them even as I have a set of arrows and some shoot straight and some shoot high and left need to do some matching up on them. Thanks for the info
