Four are done plus 1 practice arrow not shown.
Joe thanks for your kind words I think you were very busy at my age also from what I know of your travels and adventures.
If we get a warm snap these bees are going to need some attention also. The boxes shown are empty and waiting for me to store them away for a couple months.
BowEd:
From what I've noticed John the mass weight does'nt change much from year to year with dogwoods.
Hopefully our bees have enough food to make it this winter.We weighed our hives in the fall.They should be ok.I bump them once in a while to hear if they are alive and kicking.Bee keeping is on the rise in Iowa.
Pappy:
Looks like a nice set of arrows in the works. I love making and tuning them when I just take the time and do it. :) How is the shop coming along ?

BowEd:
John....Do you remember the requirements of Colorado for mass weight on an arrow to hunt elk with?If I remember right they are around 520 grains.Plenty to kill a deer with too.I believe you are right doing what you are doing with your shafts.The extra speed will help to shoot flatter I think.

Pappy the shop is on hold untill we get a break in the weather. I want to get started on phase 2 a soon as possible. The ground is frozen solid but looks like 50 degree weather at the end of March.
Beadman I should between that 559 and 600 mark. I could make them spine even less but they get so thin after 50 lbs. Currently they are 5/16
