Very observant! I could only hang 5 on that bow hanger. I had one other arrow on the hanger on another wall.
Swampman:
I went to my garage and found that I already had enough goose feathers split, ground and chopped. This allowed me to finish up these arrows today.
I used fletch tape and a jo Jan fletching jig. This process moved pretty quickly.
After the arrows are all fletched, I will wrap the front edge of the fletchings with sinew. I will also wrap the nocks with sinew too. Here are the arrows with fletchings on.
Morgan:
Outstanding job on those arrows! Those goose feathers look very professionally done, could you do a split, grind, and chop along for those of us that like to butcher perfectly good feathers? ;)
Swampman:
I glued on 125 grain brass practice points with heat glue. I also wrapped backstrap deer sinew at the front of the fletchings and the front of the nocks. I chew the sinew strips to soften them and then wrap and put tight bond 3 glue over the top of the wraps.
Here the arrows are all finished up.
Swampman:
Here are a couple more pictures. The arrows seem to match very well with the bow I built these for. Come Turkey season i will replace the practice tips with 125 grain broadheads. I am very happy with these arrows.
I was only shooting at 12 yards but my max range will only be 20 yards. Hopefully I can get a turkey that close this spring.
