Hardwood shoot collecting time

<< < (5/7) > >>

Black Moshannon:
Thanks Allyn I’ve been pretty happy with them

Allyn T:
What did they spine at? And what length are they

Black Moshannon:
I made the first one 29.5" and the second 30" since I had decided to start making my arrows a full thirty inches just to simplify things and I think the extra length makes them easier shooting. I don't spine test my arrows but I do have a 55-60# spined Surewood Shaft which I just use as a guide. I know how that flexes so I just make my shoot shafts flex similarly, I judge it by flexing it and seeing how it looks and feels.

GlisGlis:
I really like the long dark lines along the shaft. Are these burned?

Black Moshannon:
Yea I use a hot piece of metal to burn three or four straight lines on the idea was to create long stiff areas to act as stiffeners to keep the arrow straighter. I still have to check shoot arrows and straighten out small imperfections if they’ve not been used for awhile
