Just posting these for fun. The top is goose two fletched, the feathers I "seared" the quills on a few weeks ago and put on a multi floral shaft, wrapped w/ sinew. This is an all natural arrow, no glue. The second down is MFR shaft w/ chicken feathers, wrapped w/ artificial sinew, tip already broke, still shooting it. Third down is my 7yold son's arrow, MFR w/ stone point wrapped in sinew and sealed w/ propolis sealer, no fletching yet. and the fourth one is a hazel shoot that I have been working w/ all stone tools. Just posting these for fun since I haven't posted arrow for a while and I like making them. Have a gooder and I always enjoy responces. dpgratz

interesting fletching on the top two.
like how they look-reckon they fly right well.
dont think ive seen either before.
might have to give em a go.
got bags full of pretty decent chicken feathers from the neighbors hens.
and a few goose feathers left.
(need to go on an urban hike-every spit of water and park in the city has dozens, if not hundreds, of geese)

Cool arrows. I like snakey arrows as much as snakey bows. The looks you get at the practice line are priceless...especially when you hit the bullseye! ;)

Sadie, usually the back of the feather is pointing up on the two fletch, I just did this one, chicken, the other way to see how it worked. It goes pretty good.
Pat, Only that one is "snakey"...the one w. the broken tip. :(
;D ;D Thanks for the replys, dpgratz

wait so do these snakey arrows fly well because the tip and the nocks are aligned? I doesn't seem like they would fly well...

I think the geese start pretty soon,seems like they do it while the goslings are young. (Relying on memory here :-\..Uh oh..)........ ' Frank
