Title: long distance target arrows
Post by: Radon on December 30, 2008, 03:06:42 pm: Hej all,

I'd like to present my new set of arrows.
They are made for long distance target practice.

Shaft is fir with ash foreshaft, 11/32 barrelled to 5/16. Feathers are turkey 5 1/2" long and about 15/32 high. Nocks are reenforced with horn.
Point weight is 70gn.
Overall length 29". I still have to weigth them.

The set consists of six. Hovever, there ate only five in the pics. One needed repair.

Wow! Thank you for showing. Please, where did you get the fir? Were these fir dowels or did you start with a fir board? Thanks, Woodbutcher

... I just bought them at an archery store. Fir is a fairly common arrow wood over here.
