Dakota Kid, I may have to give you the win on this one. Extremely high tech primitive swiss army arrow.

Totally incredible thread!!!   These arrows are just incredible!  I made my first arrow, river cane, turkey feather, and a Keokia  high ridge Burlington point. It is good sorta. I will get better. Hope I can get into the trade next time! Thanks everyone for posting pics!

Glad you like them, Ed.  I matched them so you can shoot the target arrow, and then if you get the urge to hunt with the stone point, it should still shoot about the same.

Jeff makes some amazing arrows! I'm lucky enough to own some myself. 
I still have them Jeff,  I only hunt with them, I am in the process of replacing the stone points that I put on.  I managed to drop them and break every point.  But I've learned to knapp a little and im putting my own points on this time.

sweet Patrick.  I think you have apple shoots, right?  I want to see pics of whatever you bag with them.  Have they stayed straight for you, or do they tend to warp?  I hope you haven't forgotten.

Yep,  they are apple shoots.  I have one that I have straightened out a couple of times.  But the others seam to stay pretty dang straight.  Ill definitely let you know if I get something with them.  I haven't forgotten bud.
