Home Depot Garden Stake Bamboo Arrow Build-A-Long (Pic Heavy)
Newindian:
Do any of you have any other cheap ideas for field points, I dust don't like how the nail looks
Youngboyer2(billyf):
@newindian i think it was bevan who shaped his nails with glue and they looked awesome, maybe he will post a pic or 2,
@ncpat, my uncle had a great idea, to cut them shorter would make them stiffer, so instead of inserting a dowel and adding a glue on point, insert a nail w/o the head and taper it like you would a dowel and then add the glue on head, much more weight to counterbalance the stiffness from cutting short, then to mess w/ weight you can change glue on head weight of the nail length(+ or - weight)

This is not only my first two arrows made from this method, but my first two arrows ever made, fletched, or anything other than just gluing on tips. Its a hard life being a broke college student, but worth it enjoy making everything from scratch. This was a load of fun, thanks for the tutorial! I definitely learned a few things along the way to try on the next ones. Can't wait to fling 'em.
