Title: My new,"war arrows"
Post by: youngbowyer on February 15, 2009, 07:53:53 pm

Hi,

These are a couple of my war arrows.They are not quite war arrows as they are only 5/16 spruce shafts, but i make these to use wiith my fun shooting 35 pound horsebow. I ordered some arrowmaking supplies from steve at diyarchery to suit my new 53 pound bow that i made along with some arrowheads from hectro cole. But anyway back to topic. Here are the specs: 5/16 spruce shafts. Modbods and some long bodkins. 6 in turkey fletchings. Linen and cotton binding thread. The third picture in the slideshow shows a group photo. The one arrow in the middle as you can notice has its binding moved up because i made that arrow in november and used it a lot.
