Title: war arrows
Post by: adb on November 11, 2008, 02:31:51 pm
Sorry this took so long... busy lately! These are pics of the war arrows I was shooting with my warbow, from the "fun with my warbow" thread from October.
Specs: 31" from valley of nock to base of head, 3/8" poplar shaft tapering to 11/32" nock, hand forged bodkin head, horn reinforced self nock (1/8" wide X 1/4" deep), 7" hand cut delta profile fletchings wrapped 5 turns/inch with black silk. Final weight 800 grains. These were going 190-200 meters from my 90#@30" yew selfbow.

How much did they cost? I'm not sure... I made them.

No. The only thing I didn't make myself was the head, which was forged by a local blacksmith.

Hey, Nick

The guy's name is Jim Gerlinsky. He is a full time blacksmith, and runs a forge here in rural Saskatchewan. He does have a website: www.chokecherryforge.com.

Cheers, Adam.
