<< < (3/3)

PatrickH:
Thanks everyone! Hawkdancer thats a good point I need to add some cresting of some kind!

BowEd:
Well done Patrick.Your straightening process from green to dried shafts is about like the way I do my natural shafts.I stay after them till I have them straight.Rebundle/straighten etc. etc.
Your mass weight/spine/and diameter on lilac is about what my plum are here.Excellent hunting arrows.

StickMark:
People like to touch and see the primitive self and sinew bows.
But "home made shoot" arrows, that really impresses them, especially when they see how one goes from bendy shoot to dried, straight (enuf) arrow shaft.

Nice work. Life is too short to hunt with ugly weapons.

jeffp51:
Do you have any issues with them staying straight?  I made some lilac arrows and found they bent every time I hit a target with one
