Newbie Questions About Wood Arrows

<< < (4/5) > >>

Pat B:
You'll want the riff sides of the grain against the bow with the flames pointing forward on top of the arrow so that will tell you which end is the point and which is the nock.
 You can lay the shaft on a flat surface and roll it. This will show you if they are straight. If they aren't straight use a smooth, round shank of a screw driver to rub down the convex side of the shaft as it sits on the flat.

Kirsten, I will be home all day.

I went and met rebsr52339 and his wife and another archer friend of his yesterday and he explained a lot of what you said on here, Pat B, which I was having trouble understanding. I guess I'm more of a visual person, have to see it to understand it. But I wanted to say thank you so much! Thank you to everyone who posted on here. I feel like I'm off to a good start now with a much better understanding of how to make wood arrows. It's going to be a while now before I can make them, need to keep working on my form, but I feel much more confident about making them now. Thank you, everybody. :-)

Pat B:
I'm a visual, hands on kind of guy too so I understand. I'm sure Dick helped to set you straight.  :OK

Hawkdancer:
Kristin,
Get started!  Practice makes perfect, or at least, you start getting better as you progress!  Post pics, too!
