A central KY mini bowyer get together
osage outlaw:
Same here Dave. Only broke one bamboo arrow when I hit some roots in a creek bed. It split the shaft in half before it broke. I have hit trees dead center and didn't hurt them. I'll open a few packages of stakes and do a quick spine test in the store. I'll mix and match a few stakes to get a good batch. As long as I have the correct number in there when I'm done they don't seem to mind.

One was a carbon...n the other was a cane shaft....it happened from shooting a bow in...I dont pay too much attention to accuracy when shooting one in...and they've smacked my railroad tie retaining wall behind my target ten too many times..lol. :laugh:
N now it looks like I won't have time to make some new ones up...might have to make some up down there ::)

Clint, the Lowes around here sale the tomato stakes individually. So I just stand there and sort through all of them. I usually bring home 10 to 15. And there's 5 Lowes store within a thirty minute drive of me. Whenever I'm near one, I stop by and buy more.
Chris, you make some here. I find late night is the best time make arrow. There's no power tools involved to hamper drinking. And, I'm usually tired of scraping one a bow anyhow. I have a fletching jig, hot flat steel to flatten nodes and secret little jig to straighten the bamboo. It used to take me about 2 hours to straight a shaft, now I can do it in about 20 minutes. And half that time is waiting on section to cool enough so I can hold it to bend another section. The waiting time is where the beer comes in. ;)
blackhawk:
Will do Dave...I already have 3 matched sets already spine matched n straight(cane,shun doo,n something else?) From various trades...just gotta cut self nocks,taper n glue heads,n glue feathers....n I got heads n feathers.... so it shouldn't take too long to whip out a half dozen to get me thru the weekend ;)....hope the weathers gonna be better than here right now...were getting freezing rain right now...yuck....limbs sagging n falling everywhere

Dave, the walmart here sells them in packs of 10 I think. Our lowes used to but now they switched to single stakes.
