Asian style target arrows
Aaron H:
This is my latest set that I made for a trade for a fellow PA member. I tried my best to make what I thought looked like a traditional Asian arrow. They are big box store bamboo stakes since I couldn't find anything else in the length I needed.
36" long!!! (Manchu style shooting w/ thumb ring)
Spined at 60-65#
All weigh between 570 - 620 grains
125 grain points
Turkey primaries
Self nocks
Wrapped with deer sinew.
Banana shaped fletching
I couldn't tell you how many times I had to straighten these shafts, but they just kept wanting to return to their original shape. Finally I got them straight enough to where I was happy with them.
This is also the first time I was able to use my new homemade feather burner. It works so much better than cutting with scissors, but my goodness does it stink!
Urufu_Shinjiro:
Very nice!

Aaron H:

Nice work! I have heat straightened raw tonkin, so I empathize with the feeling... it's difficult
You shoot with a manchu style thumb ring?
