New Shoot shafts

(1/4) > >>

Pappy:
I made up 4 new shafts this weekend from some sour wood shafts I have had for a couple of years.
I think it was much easier than the Cain.They were easy to get to spine wit a small hand plane and sandpaper.They shoot great.I mounted some of my trade points on 3 of them and  a 160 ace on one.
I also reworked some of my Cain.I just scraped the walls lightly and brought them right in.I ant sure
if you can do this with all Cain but what I am using is pretty thick walls so it seemed to work great.
The one I had that was to stiff were brought right in with just a small amount of scrapping.Anyone
ever done this wit Cain before ? ???

Nice meat makers you got there.  I have worked with some cane, and most of them have been scraped, sanded, kicked and cussed.  The only problem I have had is overheating the nodes, and it always seems to be the last node on the arrow.  I guess my boy will have a bunch of cane arrows.

Little John:
Most of the cane I have worked with shot well and seem to be tollerant of spine differences. When I have tried to make matched sets there is always one or two that get set aside for a different bow. If I make several there will be at least two or three that shoot perfect and of hunting quality. What I like about them is that they are about unbreakable and if you can keep from loseing them you end up with a bunch to chose from. Oh nice looking arrows and good luck on the hunt.    Kenneth

They look good to me!!

  I have to start getting some hunting points on and figure out which arrows are hunting worthy!!!!
