Rivercane prototype
TRACY:
Thanks for the input.
I agree with sinew on the point cheapshot.
El Destructo, it shoots great, but I wondered about the front of the shaft being light too. Surprisingly the fletch is fairly quiet with all of the gaps btwn shaft and fletch. This is a weak point for me. I feel like a one armed paper hanger getting the fletching in place :D. I'm gonna have to do my homework on on doing the spiral method for the future.
Dana, I left the fletch at 5.5" and trimmed it down. I thought it would whistle but it is pretty quiet. I expected it to sound like a flu flu in flight.
Majsnuff, I've worked wild rose shafts and some hardwood shoots and liked them, but cane is easier to straighten and is fun to shoot.
Hillbilly:
Looks good, you could probably trim that fletch down a bit lower. I made a few osage tips just like that a while back, and they shot pretty good. I found they did better on longer arrows to get a bit more weight. Looks like you're getting it all figured out, nice looking arrow.
donnieonetrack:
Tracy, arrow looks great. One thing I would add to the other suggestions, the shaft looks green. If you flex the shaft it should go back to straight, if not than it still needs drying and or tempering.
take care,
Donnie
TRACY:
Donnie, It might be the lighting but they are definitely seasoned. I have some green ones and there's no mistaking them. Thanks Tracy
