Title: New Arrows
Post by: adb on November 22, 2012, 05:12:32 pm
Seems I've been pretty busy lately making custom arrows. Here's another set I just finished a few days ago...23/64" dia., 29" OAL, pine shafts, self nocks with 2" cocobolo inserts, 6" hand cut shield back fletchings. These are for a 74#@28" maple backed ipe pyramid bow I made for a friend who helped us build a cabin.

Those are some fine looking arrows like the inserts.

Holy Molson! Back off Bob and Doug MacKenzie! Those arrows put me into Bachman-Turner Overdrive!

Not only are the arrows bloody well professionally slick looking, the photography is artistic to boot.  Some day I would be very pleased to have a set of arrows from you! They'd be worth anything I could come up with in trade.

You can take pride in your workmanship.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. The isert idea certainly isn't mine. It's been done with horn for about 500 years that I know of!
