They look like they'll get the coon.Have you tried them yet?.If they don't fly perfectly,you can tweak them with a little heat till they do. ;) God Bless

Nice looking arrows. Cane is an excellent shafting.  One suggestion I would have is to add more wrapping behind the head to prevent the cane from splitting on contact. I like about 1" of sinew behind points.

Those look deadly... nice points... i agree with pat.. more whapping behind the points will keep them from splitting when they make meat.. happy hunting... Hawk

Nice Job:
Are you making the bow for the spine of the arrows?  I'm having trouble spining without the mechanical spine tester.

They look great. But like Pat said, maybe a little more sinew behind the point.  As they are, ya got more holding the feathers on than you do the "business" end. ;)
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.
