TBB has a section dedicated to arrows, but I agree there could be more info than that. Justin
Pat B:
The early issues of PA had a series by Ken Wee(I believe) about building primitive arrows. Lots of good stuff in all those old issues. ;D Pat
Kegan:
I think producing good, solid primitive arrows deserves it's own volume ;).
Glenn R.:
PK, "bonked ya in the head?", I'll bet that was probably a shock. Going back to my wheely days I had a 80# compound blow apart in the handle when I let go of the spring--imagine my surprise, holding my arm extended (bow arm) and no bow in sight--one piece flew over my shoulder, the other half ripped off the wrist sling and went under and behind me ???
Anyway, back to primitive---I shoot a lot of hazel shoot arrows--ever think about how strong they are because of the circular growth rings / no grain run-out? I also don't see a large spine difference on the spinetester when turning them as you do on a split grained arrow. I also like heavy arrows. Kinda got scared off from river cane--had one explode (implode?) coming off my longbow. Don't know if this was a rare occurence or not? 60#bow?
PK:
