Target Cherokee Two Fletch

bjrogg:
    I don’t know why it took me so long. I’ve always thought they were beautiful arrows. Made a few stone point ones I gave as gifts for Christmas. Everyone really liked them.

   I hadn’t shot one though. I did make a couple Atlatl darts and basically used the same fletch just bigger. I was amazed how much rotation I got from my dart.

   I had to try a target arrow. I straightened out a river cane shaft. Wrapped both ends with sinew. Drilled a hole in point end just so pole barn spike fit it tight. I cut off head side of spike and shortened up to 165 grains. I cut my self notch and shot it bareshaft. Was a tad week so nipped off just a little more spike. Good arrow flight so I put on my fletch.

I’m so surprised by this arrow. I thought it would be loud and probably have a lot of drag. It’s the quietest arrow I have ever shot. And it seems fast.

PS don’t know why I waited so long, but it won’t be as long a wait for the next one.

Trapper Rob:
Looks nice BJ. I make that style also I was surprised how quiet and how well they shoot also.

Allyn T:
Looks awesome! Can you show a picture of how much spiral the fletching has please? Also how long does the quill extend past the feathers for the sinew wrap?
