Birdpoint Foreshafts found homes...(Pics)
« on: November 26, 2014, 11:42:40 pm »

      Finished the arrows. This is just one of 4 that I made
      which I brought into work to show off to my students.
     
      Just under 30", Japanese arrow bamboo shafts,
      store bought fletching, sinew from horse achilles
      tendons bought in a pet shop, and some red thread.
     
      Note: the mark on the nock for shooting orientation,
               and the mark at my draw length which is 26.5".

      I've been shooting them a bit and they're holding up
      well. Although no luck on any pheasants last weekend.

      Thanks for looking!

I have shot pheasants with judo points and had them fly away with my arrow, better use small broadheads. Beautiful arrows.

Good idea for the nock orientation.
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857
