Arrows / My First Completely Abo Arrow
« Last post by PrimitiveTim on Today at 05:54:37 pm »I'm going to call this my first abo arrow. I may have cut the shaft with steal but everything else was done with primitive tools. Used a stone knife to cut nocks and prepare feathers. Used deer antler that I found to knap the arrowhead. Used pine pitch that I gathered and processed... although I did buy the buy the beeswax from a local bee keeper. Sinew to hold the head and feathers on. Dang it feels good to have this completed. Now I just need to make a couple more.
Did I mention how it flies? When I release it there's no wobble and it's soo smooth. It's more like releasing a falcon than shooting an arrow. It just flies out of the bow very aggressively.
I'm interested the pros' critiques.
PS: I'll probably trip the fletchings up a tad.

Bows / Re: Hickory board bow question
« Last post by BOWMAN53 on Today at 05:40:42 pm »Be cautious of boards where the grain curves to one side, i had one recently and the bow ended up with some twist. The one before that from the same board broke while on the tree because i didn't notice it early enough.
