First wood arrow (shaft) - to be a flu flu nutter

<< < (3/6) > >>

Russ:
I tapered it, now I’m fire hardening the tip.

Russ:
Fire hardened the tip and put the nut on with super glue. Now to seal the arrow with some linseed oil and put the flu flu’s on

Pat B:
That nutter should do it. Lookout squirrels and bunnies!!!  (B)
 Self nocks should be cut across the grain and not with it. Cutting it with the grain can split the arrow unless you add a spline and make it a reinforced self nock. That comes next semester. With self nocks there are only 2 sides that can go against the bow and that is along the edge grain. Find the stiffest of those 2 sides and that side goes against the bow.

Hawkdancer:
Looking good. I like your set up!  Now you just have to. attract squirrels and bunnies, or have enough to hunt on the move.
I will be trying that nutter, as well1

Russ:
Finished!!!!!! The end of the arrow still goes to the left but it evens out. I’m really proud of this!!! It’s the first arrow I made from a regular piece of wood!!!!
