will get me through the Classic :o :D

Nice arrows Dana. I'm only bringing 6 so I may need to borrow a few from you while there! ;D

Yer an arra building machine Dana! Them are purty - hopefully they won't blend in with the underbrush and dead leaves too much.

Good job Dana, heck I would go for an even two dozen since you are so good at it. Any way arrows like to stay in even dozens. Have fun at Pappys.    Kenneth

Nice arrows, Dana. I remember going to the Hickory, NC shoot a few years ago with one arrow for a forty-target 3D course-hadn't had time to make any. Sure gives you incentive to not miss. :)

Gotta qusetion about all these cane arrows yall make and take down to Pappys.Is it some kinda "cane cult" going on down there ?:) Do you guys loose alot of arrows on the range,(due to large amounts of spring water) ?

Just curious I guess,seems that everyone if taking a way hole lot more than I would figure needed?

BTW Dana, nice group of shafts.:)

Trade items are easier to come by than $, these days, Tim. There is usually lots of horse trading going on at the classic. ;D

Pat if ya need a few just ask :) Actually last year I shot the whole 40 target course with 2 arrows, would have been 1 but the steel fox ate one :'(

I'm not a good shot but pretty good at finding the strays :)

Dana
Very nice arras.  As little as I've been shooting I wouldn't dare take those out of the quiver. ;)

Dana, what type of material are the shafts?

i can see in a couple of the pics that atleast one looks like it has a little kink to it.

i gave up on using osier because i couldnt seem to get them straight.maybe i was just being to anal about it.
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

Tim, shoot and cane arrows will never as straight"as an arrow". They don't have to be to straight to shoot straight. As long as the point and nock end line up and the arrow spins true they will shoot well.
Dana's arrows are cane. At each node you will have a kink that can be reduced somewhat but not all together.
