Foreshaft and arrows
PEARL DRUMS:
"Would not those fore shafts make the arrow tip heavy..?"
Try weighing 6" of cane and then weigh 6" of privet. You will probably find the difference negligible. The cane might even weigh more. When I shot cane arrows more often I left them as-is. The only time I footed them was to add length after a break or something like that.
Danzn Bar:
I've made a few arrows in the past, from wood to cane and still dont understand the reason or practicality of foreshafts.

I was just experimenting with the foreshafts. They seem to fly better than some of my cane arrows without a foreshaft. Im new to this so I’m sure that I am doing something wrong.
Hawkdancer:
D-Bar,
Probably no advantage in target arrows, except maybe being able to get short shafts sections to length, or just to have cool looking arrows! For hunting arrows, maybe repair a broken shaft, or added weight foc. I got a bunch of short shoots that I want to try to splice for target arrows. I'm also still learning this arrow makng business, too! Your arrows are works of the master!

This rock wanted to take on an archaic appearance so I obliged its wishes. Measures just a hair shy of 3/4”. Maybe a little small for whitetail? Rabbit could be on the menu however?
