Matching arrows for self bow
Allyn T:
I want to use wooden arrows so I can self nock and use flint knapped arrow heads
Woody roberts:
Have you tried using 5/16 poplar Dow rod. They shoot pretty good for me in my 40 lb bows. I don’t have a spine tester so I just make them and shot them. I sort them by what groups together
Allyn T:
I haven't tried making any yet, still working on my bow
gutpile:
what is your poundage you are pulling at full draw? you will want a lil lighter spine to get enough flex upon release to bend around bow...most knapped heads are fairly light 75 to 95 grains too... they get bulky when trying to get them heavier... gut
Pat B:
Gut, that's why I add extra length to my arrows, 30" for my 26" draw and probably why you add foreshafts. With hardwood shoots and cane the natural taper helps with the weight forward too.
