Rivercane arrow question

<< < (2/3) > >>

gutpile:
I'll also add that some of my nocks are between nodes, done to keep length close.. I still wrap with sinew... never split the cane... incredible stuff... gut

Pat B:
I don't worry about node placement for nocks or point end but like Gut I also wrap with sinew. The cane I use will give me arrows of 500gr to 600gr which is plenty of weight for me. I've only done a few arrows with foreshafts but generally don't.

Woody roberts:
Thanks guys, this cane is still green. Not sure if that matters. I made up 2 just for grins. No feathers on first one. 175 gr bolt stuck in front. Nock left slightly on first shot so I trimmed a little off the bolt. Next shot missed the barn to the left and disappeared in the grass.

Next one I had one turkey tail feather so I cut it in two and tied it on. Looks and acts more like a flu flu than anything else.

Consistently lands to the left. Need heavier point? Need longer shaft? Certainly needs better fletching. The shaft is 29” long.

Makes a really cool sound while in the air.

Pat B:
Bundle the rest of your cane up and give a month or so in a dry place to let them dry.

Woody roberts:
Have done so. Will keep you posted.
