My first cane/bamboo arrows

Nice arrows, but it looks like the spiral of the feathers is the wrong way.

Ranger B:
The spiral of the feathers is the right way but I think I may use my fletcher on the next ones and glue them and then reinforce with serving or sinew.  I've got 3 more that I'm working on.  Do you guys separate them by weight?  If so what is the weight range you use?

Those look good Jimmy!

I've got eighteen finished other then putting points on them. I put dowels in the center both ends, and glued the feathers on using my fletcher and also sinew wrapping at both ends. I first finished two a week or so ago and they fly great. I finished up the others yesterday and so far have only shot one of them. It did not fly good...I turned the cock feather in toward the bow and it flew much better, but still not as good as the others. I'm guessing spine or a node coming into play. I'm going to try the rest of them out this afternoon...hope the majority flys good! :)

Pat B:
Greg, Do you have the growing part of the node facing the bow or away from it. That is the stiffest part of a cane shaft.     Pat
