Title: wild rose shaft
Post by: andy thomas on July 13, 2011, 02:40:51 am

here is a rose wood shaft i did up. i made a point which is ok but i think it is too small to hunt with here in ohio so i will probably try another. turkey and goose feather fletch.

Nice arrow. What Seabass said about the head. Stringstretcher gave me the advise of tracing a modern head for a pattern.

Andy,i might have to head up north and work on that new casino.it is on the maumee river just south of toleado.i think it is near the town of perrysburg.if i do have to head up there i'll get some numbers,and maybe i can do some shooting with some of you norther guys.                                                                                                                                         bowartist,i can be in richmond in about 45 minutes.

Shoot, we got this area pretty well represented.  I'm in Rising Sun, IN.  About a 40 minute drive west from Cincy.  Hey Seabass, I got some inlaws in Middletown.


That is a nice rose arrow.  I cut some, but it was all too weak in spine.  I will have to look for some thicker pieces.
