Neat arrows,I'll say one thing for you ,you are about the most resourceful guy I have ever seen
use what you have on hand. :) :) How do they fly with no tips.I have lost tips before and they go everywhere but where you want them to. ???

I might try the fluorescent colored duct tape (orange or pink). It would make finding my arrows a lot easier.
Then again, more target practice might help too! :P

Thanks ;D. As far as tips, I just left them a few inches longer than my draw. Seemed to help. Seems that heavier the shaft, the shorter they need to be when left long? If that makes sense :D. Light shafts= really longer, heavy shafts= just a little bit longer. That sums it up :). Helps with the weight aat the bow or somehting (was in some of the back issues of PA, I believe Ken Wee talked about it?)

i made one and i was suprised how well they flew. The duct tape flew good and i put a nut on the end

Wow, sounds good. I don't have any experience of fire hardening wood though. What's the technique? What temp and for how long?
