thanks gents,

   i havent shot it...   i was fooling around with it a little late last night sanding and shaping... i wasnt really going to build one up... i was just trying out my new thumb plane trying to learn how to use the darn thing...   but then i went ahead and threw that one togather last night right  befor bed...  i worked late today and when i got home i grabed my day pack an my bull dog and went out into the woods for a little hike... and i got some nateral materal that i had made a couple of primitive arrows to teach the Ditry Dawgz teen team....  how to make a survival arrow out of what was availiable..   i wanted to get some of that material today to post pics of it on a differant thread...    " so might point is"   i didnt even have time to go shoot the arrow from last night...lol...

but like i said i was just foolin around and trying to learn how to use the thumb plane... i also have an arrow i made from that nateral stock with a P.O.S stone point i tried to make.. i will post that on the new thread too...

but on this arrow i dont know if i shoot it and it shoots good how will that help if i dont think i would be able to make another one exaclty the same you see its allmost wierd cause i know you cant tell from the pic but about mid to front it is way biger than from mid to rear... its like  a wierd barrle tapper shaft at least i think thats what i learned what to call it from a differant thread.. if its big and fat at cener and the tappers to front and back right ???  

but this one is really weird shaped soo if i cant duplicated it how can i get good with it?? and use it???
or do i just learn that arrow and learn what its going to do every time and that what i aim for?????

Shooter_G22:
Sorry,

   i forgot to mention that i dont have a scale right now... soo i couldnt tell you the wieght...

Little John:
A spine tester is my most importand tool in arrow making,  Jay Massey said with practice you can get the feel for stifness. I can tell the diff between one that is obviousley too too stiff or limber. fun isnt it

madcrow:
You will be surprised how close you can get them without a scale.  I made a dozen barrel tapered shafts and late ron, when I bought a digital scale and started playing with it, I found out that they were all between 600 and 650 grains with field points.

Shooter_G22:
Wow,

   i shot this arrow today and i have to say it shot better than the ones i paid 100 bucks a doz for seeral yrs back.. when i bough my first set..

and i usually have to aim a little of set to the right to get on target but with this one i aim right on and i hit righ on...  but i ruined it i shot straight through the week spot of my cardboard box that i hve full of foam but the week spot ws dead cntr  and the arrow flew threw the box and hit a conctrete step... or berm..   and the tip bent to hel and broke the slit in the wood a little bit.. i can fix it just cut about 3/4 " off and retip.. but i wonder if it'll shoot the same and now i want to make the all like this one...
i need a scale...
 ;)
