straightening tricky shoot arrows

<< < (3/3)

BowEd:
ntv....Nice pics...The bend in center of shaft your [?] picture shows I would do by hand wearing a cotton glove and work from left to right heating 3 times.If too sharply a bend a risk is taken breaking it though.My wooden bending wrench is used mostly for any imperfections on the ends of the shafts where no room is left to grab ahold of the shaft.
If length allows it you can get rid of it too.I cut my shafts 40" long lots of times just to get the best out of it I can.
I usually figure to get a dozen good shooters if I'm lucky out of 14 to 15 shafts cut most times.There's other imperfections in them too besides bends that can exclude them from being a servicable shaft.After cutting and making enough of them a person is pretty discriminatory about which shaft is cut to save on work.

DC:
You can reef on them pretty good. Don't worry about breaking a few. It's a proven fact that the ones that break wouldn't have made good arrows anyway ;) ;) ;)
