Title: Here are a few of mine
Post by: nugget on July 01, 2008, 08:20:28 pm

These are a few arrows I have made up so far this year.
I am trying a few new things. Trying to use more primitive methods.

First bows then knapping and now arrows. Whats next!  ;)  The Cherokee 2 fletch shoots surprisingly well once you get them figured out. Nice, TJ. Hope to see them in person, soon.     Pat

Rick they are a mix of cane and meadow sweet. The light colored ones are cane and the darker ones are meadow sweet.

Recurve shooter, those funny-fletched arrows kept the majority of the Eastern tribes fed and defended for a couple thousand years. They work really well.

Greg some are just regular glue on points. I have a couple with brazing rod welded onto a nail I got from Pat . The 2 I have pics of are some mild steel I cut out of an old angle bracket.
Thanks Pappy They fly surprisingly good . I am sure yours will be perfect.
