rose shoot arrows.. finished arrows!!
lowell:
After they have dried a week or so I start to straighten in jig again but with some heat from a heat gun. Use the jig or just straighten by bending with hands. You won't get all the bends out right away, just rebundle and do again in a few days as needed untill they are straight
Slight waves from end to end don't seem to bother the arrow flight but you don't want the arrow to have any arch from one end to the other.

Here they are starting to get straighter but I'll keep working them on and off and rebundle after each straightening.
Would like them to be dry for maybe a couple months but not really sure how long it takes. ??? Depends how busy I am and how antsy I am to get them to shoot. Dryer is no doubt better!!
I have 2 batches I'm working on. The one batch has been drying about a month already. This is how far I am with them right now.
Will post more when I do more work on them!! ;)
If I'm not making something clear just ask and I'll try to explain better!!
