So are we supposed to post our draw length and desired spine, or just contact our recipient? This will be my first year for the arrow trade, so I am new to this

Woo, I am sending to a master, and getting from a master! This should be good!

JoJo, I can assure you the arrow you receive is definitely from a master, I have 4 with a matching Osage short bow and they are amazing.
Grady
-
Thanks for taking this on Trapper. Ed
-
Diddo that Ed Brooks!
-
Thanks Trapper Rob!
-
No problem guys.
-
Did a bit of knapping last night. Nothing that jumps out at me. What do you all think, goose or turkey?
-
Turkey looks good but so does goose JoJo.
-
And to clarify they are Snow Goose. Black/White/Grey
-
The snow goose would look nice with the different colors JoJo. I have some also now I'm going to have to dig them out.
-
My trade arrow is going out today!!! 8)
G
-
Still working on mine. Knapping is harder than I remember. I should not have stopped practicing. lol
Maybe I will haft a trade point instead. I will give it one more go.
-
I'm with you mountain man, Its been a year since I knapped a point. Rough go.
-
Knapper the point & finished the arrow yesterday. How do y'all suggest packing it for safe shipment?
-
Tower pvc pipe or a stiff cardboard tube is what I used in the past.
-
Shipped out the trade arrow today, I used a stiff cardboard tube to ship it in.
-
Finished my arrow up this weekend and should be sending it out in the next day or so.
It's a self nocked hill cane arrow with small turkey feathers done in a 3 feather tangential fletch, hafted trade point and sinew wraps sealed with pitch varnish.
-
Just dropped a little something in the mail should arrive in 2 days....

-
Well I've received and should be shipping this week. I ended up using a nice piece of tonkin garden stake with a knapped point that I traded for last year from Eric who spends most of his time over on PP.
I'll try to get a picture up tomorrow of my arrow from the old hippy. Boy did I luck out on this one.
On my trade arrow I did a simple hand trimmed turkey primary. Both sides stripped from the same feather. That feather was 14" minimum so we know it's got Mojo.
-
Just about finished with mine. Should be going out by this weekend.
-
I'm making good progress on my two. They should ship by the weekend.
-
My arrow went out today to Smoky. Expected delivery date is Friday, 8/28/2015
-
Mine was all but ready, I didn't like the fletchings. So i took them off and will make new ones tonight!
-
I lack sinew binding the point, and wrapping and trimming the fletchings.
Its been fun
-
Fletchings are wrapped with yucca fiber thread
Fletching ends and point are binded with sinew and hide glue
I need to trim the fletching, seal the sinew and maybe do some decorations, not sure about the decs yet, but my recipient is out of town from what I gather and I don't have an address yet, so I might come up with something in the mean time.
-
I got a beautiful arrow today from Halfeye, What a looker. Did the point go from Utah to Michigan and back? Been busy helping the neighbor, I'll post a photo tomorrow.
-
Joe,
You are correct sir. That is indeed a Dan Hamblin head, one of my hunting points. The shaft is cedar heart wood (knife split) and rounded with a flint notch tool, deer sinew hafting, and Eastern turkey secondary feathers (full length) in the Eastern 2 fletch style. Hope you like it, sir.
rich
-
Got mine out today. dog wood, gar scale, goose feathers, sinew and earth pigments that I made.
This is abo fun.
-
just came home to find an awesome arrow from pat b, i'll post pics later, (have to go to karate)
-
Sent mine out Monday, hope he got it.
-
OK guys where's the pics..... ???
DBar
-
Ya what dbar said, where's all the pics fellas?? I didn't get in the arrow trade this, was busy trying to finish up my bow trade. Would love to see what I missed.
Tattoo Dave
-
I got my arrows. I'll post a picture tomorrow.
-
About to get mine wrapped up so to speak , I am going to try to forge a two piece head , wish me luck !
-
I dropped a package in the mail today. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Ed
-
I just got home from work and found this Beauty waiting for me!
What amazing color! Thanks Redhand for the trade arrow. I love it!
Can you tell me about what material went into making it?
Thanks!
I will finish mine this weekend and get it to the post on Monday.
-
Very nice right there.....
rich
-
I'm glad you like it Mountain Man. The shaft is wild rose that straightened with heat, I used goose primaries for the fletchings, deer sinew wraps on the fletchings and point, I used red ochre for paint, the arrow head is red glass I got from the local pet store, and I sealed it all with tru oil.
-
Very cool arrow. Well done. 8)
-
Redhand you make a very nice arrow.
-
Put my arrow in the mail today 👍
-
That is nice. I'd hunt it and then display it in my living quarters. Color is phenomenal.
-
Wildcat Hunter sent me two arrows. They look great and will make a nice addition to my arrow collection.

HAHA, No, of Halfeyes beautiful arrow. My wife hurt her knee, so I was busy cleaning house and trying to keep her off her feet. It is no small task!
-

Bowtarist,
I sent mine out to you today. Should be there by Thursday at the latest. My camera battery died just after I finished it so please take some pics when it arrives!
-
Where are all the pics we were promised?
-
I know Pat B, I've been checking this thread every day for uploaded pics.
-
Mine went out tday. Should arrive on Thursday at the latest.
Cool bearded mountain man, I'll post pics when I can. My phone takes pics that are too big to post here. If anyone knows how to make them smaller on an iPhone you can pm me and tell me how.
Have a gooder fellas!! dp
-
I shipped mine out on Saturday, should be there by tomorrow
-
Mine flew out ....
DBar

Finally, my beauty from Halfeye. It is cool to me that the point came from Utah.
-
Here's the arrow I made for Danzn Bar. I made a wall hanger arrow, salvaged from an arrow I cut too short because I measured wrong :P, but at 28 1/8" from valley of the nock to base of the arrowhead it might work as a working arrow if you had a shorter draw length. It is a 50-55 spined POC shaft with three coats of Golden Oak stain and three coats of Satin Spar Urethane. Self nock, I used some B-55 Polyester bowstring material for binding the feathers to the shaft in the barber pole style that I'm fond of. This time however, I put Titebond Liquid Hide glue under the feathers instead of leaving them unglued. Not sure how I feel about the Liquid Hide glue. The arrowhead is not that primitive, I started making trade points but my co-workers insist I have to work harden them to make them work and with my little knowledge of it, I decided to put the best arrowhead that I had on it. It is not that sharp, but nevertheless I will duct tape the edges so that the chances of cutting one's self will be lessened when they opened the package.
-
Nice looking arrow there AJ!! What type feathers did you use? I've always used turkey feathers but I really like the all white you have there
-
Looking great guys; keep the pictures coming!
-
I fletched my arrow tonight. I should be able to launch it Thursday or Friday.
-

They were Truflight full length feathers, so they're from domestic turkeys.
-
My arrow from warpath....thanks G, I'm gonna do my best to put it through a deer!

I hope you make lots of meat with it Blackcoyote!!

Here is the arrow I rec'd from oldhippy. It's been a couple weeks and I should have gotten pics up earlier but I've been busy, tired, and mostly lazy. ;D
Nice hunting arrow made from hill cane.
-
A lot of nice arrows going out.
I'll get a list of who shipped & who received.
I see Oldhippy didn't lose his touch at arrow making.
-
Those are some mighty fine arrows.
-
I made one for Mullet. It figures I'd draw a moderator on my first go round. After asking him what he'd like, he said he's never received a fishing arrow in the trade. That will soon change. I got it packed up tonight and then realized I didn't sign it or take pics. It turned out nice so I was in a hurry to get it in the mail. I'll tear into it and repack in the morning. Should be able to post a pic or two as well.
The arrow(s) I am to receive are on the way I've been told, it should be here any time now. I was told one was a secret design so I'm intrigued.
-
Dakotakid,
I didn't aim to make you think they was sent yet.
I did finish up last night and packed them for shipment, and will have them to the post office today.
Here's a little sample pic.
-
Sure wish I could print like that! Especially on curved surfaces.
-
I'll be going down to the wire. After getting out of the hospital I've been sicker then a dog. But, sure I'll get it out this weekend.
-
The wife told me she picked up a package for me at the post office today. I'm excited to get home. My arrows should have gotten to Falcon tday too. Hope you like them. I stopped doing the pink fletch on trade/gift arrows since so many of you guys are so manly. 😳😀😀
-
here is the arrow i received from PatB, sorry it took so long
-
and i shipped my trade arrow today.
-
Smoky, I think Clint(Osage Outlaw) made the trade point.
-
Got a sweet arrow from bearded mountain man! One awesome cane arrow shaft and five kick butt fore shafts. Totally happy man! It's a gooder!!! I'll try to post pics of it in the next couple of days. Cheers Brother!!! dpgratz
-
OK,
My trade arrow is in the mail
I practiced a lot writing up and down a couple arrows before I wrote on this one.
I"ll pm a tracking number to you Dakotakid
-
Bowtarist,
So glad you like it! I got both the trade point and the obsidian in trades. I made the bone point from the leg bone of the first deer I ever took with my bow. I tried to knap a point, but it ended up way to thick to haft. oh well. Each of the foreshafts will fit into the shaft but they may take a little light twisting to get them to slide all the way down The feathers are from a heritage bread duck I harvested last year and held onto the feathers; It was a big duck!
-
Mine is headed out tomm or Saturday.
-
Great stuff bearded! I tried each point and got the twisty twist down rite away first thing. 😀 totally inspired to add a couple fore shafts to my next couple arrows. Enjoying this trade. Thanks for letting me know bout it OH! And again thanks TR for takin the sponcibility part. 😉
-
Smoky, I think Clint(Osage Outlaw) made the trade point.
It does look familiar ;)
I just finished up my trade arrow. It will be shipped tomorrow morning.
-
I received 2 really nice arrows yesterday from bowtarist. Very well done buddy, especially the .357 blunts. I love em!
-
nothing better than a sweet small game thumper arrow or two!
-
ALL of you arrow-builders are truly an inspiration!
-
i've been busy with home life. i hope to get mine out on time, if not, it will be Monday. If it ends up being monday i'll up the ante.
-
Glad you like them aaron. Did you get the note too? I had a great time making them. I love these arrow trades!!
-
I did get the note, and I'm sure I will be aiming these babies at a squirrel or two. Thanks again, it really shows in the quality of work when someone really enjoys what they are building, these arrows are no exception.
-
Came home from work at 9AM this morning and mine is headed to Utah. Redhand, don't hesitate to hunt with it. It is hand splined and with the head on it I'd bet it will shoot hard and straight out of anything from 45-60#.
-
Ended up late. Have a busy schedule tomorrow morning so won't be able to get mine in the mail until Tuesday morning but will ship priority.
-
I know I'm getting down to the wire and hoping to send out first thing tomorrow morning but correct me if I'm wrong isn't it okay if we get out in the mail on the 8th which is Tuesday? Some of the previous comments sound like guys already think they're late. Monday being a holiday obviously the post office will be closedp. I'm not one to be late on anything so I just want to double check.
-
1442,
No worries. I can't remember the last time I was in a hurry for any thing. Everyone always compares life to a race. The finish line of a race has cheering, medals, and celebration. Life's finish line doesn't openly appear to be that appealing.
Mullet,
Your package will hit the mail tomorrow morning. I'll pm you a tracking #. If it wasn't for the work related road trip, I wouldn't be fashionably late. Hopefully we share a similar sense of urgency. I'll post a pic or two later tonight when the house is quiet and the line for the computer is shorter.
-
Dakota, I'm off work for three days and have the Grill fired up right now. I'm in no hurry, take your time.
Eddie
-
That would be perfect mullet. I have a 47 pound sinew backed juniper bow that I plan on hunting with. I appreciate it.
-
Just got home from work and found an arrow from ajbruggink waiting for me.........
A big THANKS to ya Aaron......it will look good in my collection.....
Thanks again

Here's the sneak preview. I used a lot more natural materials than I usually do. I'm typically a fan of functionality over aesthetics. I assumed modern materials were easier to work with in most cases. In this case I didn't find it any more taxing. Aside from the TBIII, store bought thread, and food coloring to dye the feathers everything was natural.
I gave a light dusting with the airbrush to the fletchings to make them look like fish scale-ish.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m509/dakota_kid1/trade%20arrow2_zpsb2eljgfy.jpg)
The tips are woodchuck leg bone pieces attached with deer sinew. I used a clay marble I found on the lake Erie shore while looking for beach glass to spread the bamboo. Then wrapped it up tight with more sinew.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m509/dakota_kid1/trade%20arrow6_zps2mb4gc03.jpg)
The safety slide is antler. A word of caution for Mullet, I haven't tested a slide of this type. I usually use a drilled out wire nut, but it wouldn't have looked right on this arrow. It seemed to slide just as easily and I would have test fired it without fear of failure if I had the time to bowfish this week. I figured I should disclose that kind of info.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m509/dakota_kid1/tradearrow4_zpsmaycfb6v.jpg)
It will be on it's way to Floridia in the morning. This was fun and it made me get a little more creative than usual. I look forward to future trades.

YES!
-
Oh, yea, I like it! It's cool getting something different.
-
You guys are kicking out some real nice arrows for the exchange, I'm enjoying the pics. :)
I gotta get back in it next time around, decided not to this year because work and family obligations have been taking up most of my time and energy the past couple months.
-
Your still OK mailing out Tues. the 8th.
Dakota Kid you need to do a build along on your fish arrow. 8)
-
Thanks guys. It always especially nice to get kudos from others practicing the same craft.
That arrow was a little fancier than the ones for my own personal use of course.
Trapper, I be happy to do a build a long the next time I make one. I haven't done one of those yet. I had planned on doing one on how to airbrush snakeskin onto fabric(way easier than you'd think), but never got around to it. Now that I have a request perhaps I'll be more motivated.
Hope she flies true for ya mullet. If you happen to get an alligator gar, you better mail me a few scales. I heard the make excellent broad heads. We have long nose gar up here but they are fairly sparse. Plus there's an endangered species, the spotted gar, that looks quite similar at a distance. It's had to play catch and release with your bow and I have no interest in finding out what kind of fine is attached to killing an endangered species. Come to think of it I think bow fishing is limited to carp,catfish, and suckers in PA. I usually stick to the carp in lakes that have population booms. Too many carp can be bad news for the other fishies.
-
Will do Dakota, We have all of the Gar here and none are protected. With a bow it's easier to practice Fillet and Release.
-
I heard gar do a number on a fillet knife. Tin snips might be better. :)
-
Clean Gar with a hacksaw and tin snips. Hack straight down behind the head to the spine then snip down the back to the tail, open it up and take out the backstraps. My arrow is finished, I will pack it up tonight or tomorrow and put it in the mail Tuesday. It is a Dacite broadhead on a privet shaft with turkey primaries.
Grady
-
Never taken a gar, but I bet that arrow would sure do a number on one. Looks great!
-
OK guys if I missed anybody leave me know.

Here's a video of the arrow I sent Wizard goat. Hopefully he can post some pics too.

You know I sent mine out the 27th via post office and it hasn't got there yet. Not going to use them again.
-
Dog, did you send it Priority Mail? That's the only way I send anything of value anymore and only had one thing come up missing in many years of shipping.
-
I did. They keep coming up with delayed delivery.
Dog
-
Only time I've ever seen "delayed delivery" was when the package was damaged.
-
Bowtarist received his from me. Still waiting on some pictures of it though! ;)
-
Mine was mailed in a PVC pipe. Go figure.
-
Mine will be in mail in the a.m. Not like me to be last minute but it will be priority mail.
Thanks for put this up trapper rob :)

I received my arrow a couple weeks ago, but things got a little hectic for me so am only posting now.
Thanks for the arrow David, it looks good on my arrow rack.
I'll be sending my arrow tomorrow after work. Rob, thanks for being patient and heading this trade.
Heres some pics of the arrow I got and the one I'm sending. Cheers

Some very nice arrows, well done
-
my arrow is heading out in the mail this morning! Sorry for pushing the deadline!
Big thanks to trapper rob for putting this together it was fun - I'm already collecting different materials for the next one!
-
Mine will be on its way today. Via Fedex.
-
USPS has reallt messed mine up . They forwarded it somewhere else.
-
Yes I received mine. Give me a bit bearded. My internet won't work at hm and the school I work at wont allow photo bucket due to adult content. I'm tryin to figure it out. I haven't forgot. I've showed the arrow and fire shafts off to everyone who has visited me since I received them if that is any consolation. 😀
-
Derik, you can text or email me the pictures and I can post them for you.
-
I just now received my package from DanzanBar.....wow
Got 2 beautifull cane arrows, matching one small game and one that just has to go at a deer. enjoy the pics like I'm doing w/ the arrows. Oh ya, they look real nice in my badger quiver also

PS: Bill, that box suprise is gonna get in a nice big pike's face and then get retired, yes I do appreciate it, sir.
-
This is the arrow I got from Osage Outlaw, she's a beaut. I'll have to find a safe place for it so I can start a collection, hopefully I'll be able to participate in more of these arrow trades.
-
Man I love seeing all these beautiful arrows being posted, great work fellas
-
I am shipped as of this morning. Sent my guy a pm and told him. Thanks again rob for heading this up
-
I got my arrow today from Tower. Thanks Don. This is a very nice arrow and the stone point is incredible. I don't know what the material is but the craftsmanship is impeccable.

OK guys if you will check the list & leave me know if you shipped or received & your name is not on it.
I talked to wildcat hunter he said I can take it to his house or he'll come to mine to get it not to mail it.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves in the arrow trade.
-
All these arrows look so amazing!
And no worries Bowtarist on the pics.
Thanks for showing it off.

This is the arrow I got from Osage Outlaw, she's a beaut. I'll have to find a safe place for it so I can start a collection, hopefully I'll be able to participate in more of these arrow trades.
I'm glad it made it there in one piece. I was a little worried.
-
I received my arrow today. Thanks Mullet its a real beauty. That point looks very deadly.
-
Glad you like it. I resharpened that point before I put it in the tube.
-
I shipped yesterday.
Grady
-
USPS says mine was finally delivered. ;D
-
I received my arrow(s) from 1442. I'll post some pics later. Wait till you guys see this point, it's a fatal beauty for sure.
Thanks T.
-
Got an arrow from Smokey 1 Sat. Went to the mail box and there was a tube that was crunched in on one side and my spirits dropped. Opened it up expecting to find two pieces but it was intact, a little crooked but in one piece. Did a little flexing and put it back in tip top shape. Don't know if I can post a picture or not, have had some problems with the computer lately.
Peace, Hippy
-
Hey, Hip; I still don't have one of yours. I'll send you one of mine for one. And, tell Randy to answer his phone when I call.

Awesome point. Thanks.

UPS just dropped mine off. Wow! I have to say, that is one of the nicest arrows I've received in the arrow trade. Sir, you have some serious talent, thank you.
-
This was my offering to Tower, he said I could post these cause he has been away.
It is a river cane arrow, with snow goose fletchings, sinew wrapped, with dogwood shoot foreshafts. The point I got in trade from Jack Crafty (thanks Patrick). Both the blunt and the hunting point weight 165 gr.
-
One more...
-
Received mine today as I was leaving for my show this weekend. Will post pics sometime next week.

Thank You for posting.
Gentlemen this arrow is an amazing work of art!
-
Don, it looks like all of them are.
-
Thanks Tower, I'm glad you like it. I forgot to add that it has a walnut oil and beeswax finish.
-
I have not received an arrow yet.
It was reported shipped one day last week.
probably be here Monday
-
Here is the arrow I sent to Bowtarist. It has 5 foreshafts which fit into the bamboo shaft. The trade point and the obsidian are from trades I made and the bone point is one I made myself. The feathers are from a very large duck I harvested last year. Enjoy!
-
Here is the arrow i got from autologus. Natural shoot shaft turkey feathers with sinew and a knapped point. Thanks alot Grady really appreciate it and it looks great in my collection!
-
Mine shows delivered friday afternoon. I know Warpath was at a show over the weekend though.
-
I got a real nice arrow today from Wildman.
Shoot shaft, eastern two fletch with a forged steel point, and a forged flint and steel striker to go along with it.
Thanks Wildman. I'm gonna see if I can catch a spark with the striker
-
Who said metal points can't be primitive? I like the look of the rough forging. I may copy that in the future. I have a silver smithing background and tend to smooth and polish way more than necessary.
PS Thanks for the kudos Mullet.
I still have to post pics the arrow(s) I received, been having computer issues. Hopefully tonight.
-
Got one heck of a nice arrow from wizardgoat today it was well worth the wait.
-
Here is the beautiful arrow I got from Paul Semp. Although it will end its life as a display arrow, I can confirm she flies straight and true. Thank you Paul - shes a looker. I really like the arrow sheath too.
-
I just got a real nice arrow from Old Hippy, I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. Steve, yours will be going out as soon as I get a tube long enough. Thanks, Buddy.

Glad that you like it little buddy. It's hard to believe that I haven't given you an arrow before now. I don't do fancy< just a plain Jane that came out of my quiver, and probably been shot a time or two. It's a hill cane shaft with a Flint Ridge point with sinew wrap and pine pitch binding and store bought feathers.
Hippy

I got home yesterday to find my son standing at the door going open it!...lol I received a great arrow for my collection from RBLusthaus. Thank you Russ, I love everything about it, the Gar scale point on that thing is great. Sorry but I have lost the ability to resize my pictures for the site. Ed

Finally got my permanent computing station back up and running, so without further adiue.
Here's the promised pics of the arrow I received from 1442.

Here was the surprise top secret arrow. I hope it's okay that I'm sharing it.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m509/dakota_kid1/arrow%20pen%201442s_zps5nlpkv7e.jpg)
Thanks again 1442. I can only hope to knap a point like that someday. I have managed to actually finish a dozen or so thus far without incident. Now I have a hard time deciding whether to knap or scrape bows. I suppose I'm a winner either way.
-
I didn't realize I cut the right side of that last pic off. The head of that arrow pulls off to reveal a pen. Truly a neat idea.
-
Glad you like em DK
That secret arrow was only a secret until you saw it then it was no longer a secret, so it was ok to share it.
I am torn between knapping and bowyering and arrow making and fishing, and more fishing all the time, Dang work gets in the way of all of it.
You will make points better than that if you keep at it. sometimes it's best to work on bows or something and then get back to knapping. I made some of my biggest progressions at knapping by actually taking a break from it for a week or so then getting back to it.
If ever I can help just holler.

Really nice work Terry

Thanks Falcon.

Here is the arrow I received from Blackcoyote, it is a hillcane shaft with a broadhead his grandfather used to hunt with. The fletchings are natural turkey with a really cool printed cock feather. The pictures cannot do the dye job justice, it is a gorgeous arrow and just as deadly.
