Six rivercanes for no kiddin

(1/6) > >>

bjrogg:
I really like this rivercane. It straightens nice and stays straight. I wanted to make some shorter arrows for my 48" bendy "No Kiddin".
Shafts are 26" and pretty stiff. I used a six inch pole barn spike that I cut at about four inches maybe. I cut them to 12 to 13 grams. I don't have a grain scale but I think that's somewhere around 170- 185 grains. I shot them bareshafted till I got point weight right. Then I glued point in with gorilla super glue. Shafts are wrapped with deer sinew front and back. Bjrogg markings and wild turkey fletch. 3 1/2" fletch cut by hand pretty short. They fly nice but some do make a bit of noise. I think it's the nodes. I'm hesitant to file them to much. The last three I filed nodes down a little more and they are quite.
Here's a look

Real nice!  Thanks for the node filing info!  I have to work down some cane, and will try duplex nail points.  Got to get some of that Gorilla super  glue, too.

bjrogg:
Jerry I really don't know what you can get away with filling nodes. I try to do the minimum amount I can.
