Title: I knew arrows could be expensive.... BUT...
Post by: bhenders on May 06, 2013, 12:54:23 pm
Well now, I need to start selling all my arrows on this site.....



It's a STEAL at the $99.95 (you're saving over $37 on Sale). 

Note that it has a REAL  "Silver Painted Point"

Note to Admins:  Not suggesting anyone buy this....the ridiculousness of this just got me...

If that sells I'm gonna put him out of business. I'll offer the same arrow with a REAL steel point for the lowly cost of $50 a pop. ;D ;D

I knew I was getting in the right business, I also remember a site where they were selling spray painted deer antlers for 100-200$

I guess I didn't realize how important archery equipment is to the upscale boutique designer.

Well, here is the 'arrow' I was talking about above.  (shouldn't have posted the link).

Notice the wonderful nock and the painted point.... definitely a piece of art for your mansion wall...

Heck, at that price you could buy a dozen crowned and crested arrows and put them on that site individually and make a killing.
A fool and his money is easily parted!  ;)

At a hundred bucks a pop for an arrow, that guy needs to start supporting our poor magazine!

years ago in the 90s , in Santa Fe during Indian Market ,there were a couple guys making traditional arrows right there on the plaza,
flaking points,straightening shafts, sinew wrapping fletchings and trading them for a $100.00 bill.....
there was a long line of tourists waiting with money in their hands.

The market ain't as good here in the Black Hills.  They go for about $70 each.  Consequently, the shafts are 3/8 poplar from the hardware store, $1 tourist trade crap-ola points, white farm turkey feathers, and artificial sinew. 

On the other hand, I will make the real deals from chokecherry shoots, wild turkey feathers, real sinew, and knapped points from you guys on the dark side that provide me with points....and without tribal enrollment papers I can't get $10!  I get the sense these buyers are not so much interested in collecting accurate replicas as much as buying indulgences from the Church of Racial Guilt.

Funny thing to me is that somebody actually has quite a bit of time into that arrow if it is wrapped in as much thread as it looks like in the picture....or maybe I am just real slow at thread wrapping.

Grab a spool of thread, paint some glue on the arrow, stick it into a power drill, and turn it on max speed...
