sadiejane:
well pappy, there is a learning curve.
they'll be whipping out arrows in no time and wont need me anymore :(
did make em start with taking feathers off a turkey wing, splitting, grinding etc.
but i did not make em use shoot shafts nor cane that had to be straightened. and straightened again
let em off easy with store bought poc shafts, nocks n field points :)
Stringman:
Good times, Sadie! Arrows are a slow man (or woman's) game. Good to see Wayne on here. Always like seeing his work, too!

Wolf Watcher:
Sadie: You are right about the arrows. I learned early on that making arrows from local materials in Northwestern Wyoming was a very tedious and long task! Sometimes I spent more time looking for a lost arrow that I did hunting! I could make a usable stone hunting point in a few minutes, but an arrow took hours and usually over a day!
