michbowguy:
here are some arras for a friend.
tonkin cane,dogwood foreshafts,turkey 2 fletch,and selfnocks...for the range of course!

thanks for looking!

M-P:
They look great.  I'm always stressed by the beating the sinew wrap takes if it is shot into bales.  Any suggestions?   Ron

Pat B:
Nice arrows, Jamie. I've got to try the Cherokee 2 fletch. You did a nice job with the dogwood foreshafts. 8)
  Ron, a silk thread wrap set in super glue will hold up to the bale. When you see the thread ravel a bit, just add more super glue. Not primitive but long lasting. ;D   Pat

cowboy:
Cool range arra's - I'm sure with a point they'd be fine for huntin too. Are they pretty quick to make like that, with the two fletch - how are they for accuracy? Got me thinking about makin some up :).

michbowguy:
with alot of help from my N.A. BROTHERS....aka  rwelch,and kowechobe!
my work is getting better and better.
they fly  AWESOME.
they penetrate like a sherman tank ,and probably weigh just as much!
no grain scales,no feather cutter/jigs,just made by a little knowlede and having a "feel" for the way each pc of cane,and dogwood fit.
i shot them thru paper today at local sport shop and got a tear that looked like a glider went thru!
a straight line with a little hole in the center.

all those graphs,calculators,grainscales are acurate,and will get you close...
but the proof is in the SHOOTING.
i shot one thru a 78 lb hill style longbow, a 45 lb bear recurve and one out of a 55 ln COMPOUND!

all i know is the next time i do a little demo like that i should take a couple doz. with me as i could have sold EVERY ONE I HAD TODAY.

its just that its realy hard to put a price on something that took the time to build! and i just dont like charging alot for my stuff to my friends.
