Title: Beaver Tail Arrow
Post by: turtle on January 18, 2015, 04:27:48 pm

Cant remember last time i posted any arrows so i thought i would show one i just made. Friend from work that does a lot of trapping gave me 5 beaver tails last week and asked if i would make him a native american style arrow. So this is what i made for him. River cane with vibernum foreshaft turkey secondary in eastern two fletch and upper mercer chert head. Main shaft is 30" and is 35" overall. Head and foreshaft are set with pitch glue. Wrappings are artificial sinew set in tb3.

Nice compound arrow. How does it fly for you?
