Do you have to “tiller” arrows?
DC:
Were they parallel shafts? How did you shape them?
Ryan Jacob:
I just gave them a light sanding... though it may have been the 20 or so knots in that stick of guava...
DC:
You did say "shoot" shafts, I missed that, sorry. Yes I imagine a lot of knots could cause a problem. I would throw out any that didn't bend evenly.
Pat B:
Generally the knots and leaf scars are at the small end(up side). I've never had any problems with knots or leaf scars.
archeryrob:
Next time be more picky and choose shafts with no knots. You can go out in the spring and find nice shafts that are small and snip or strip off the leaves and small branches for it to grow without them. I have done that. If they are hinging in one spot I would let that arrow rest in the firewood pile.
