Hawk dancer I agree with you. I also think that as people make and design their on arrows there will be fewer loaners necessary. I don't like to build arrows. I would rather build bows. But a year into this flight shooting I am finding it necessary to built the flight arrows . the challenge to build a better fling arrow has made arrow building a bit more fun somehow. This will help in finding our arrows. It was easy to find the ones I built if I hit the landing pad. :-)! Arvin

The key for me with arrows is to always have plenty! Lol!  I have 3 bows that all shoot the same arrows so I have 3 or 4 sets of arrows at one time.  There is a lot that goes into making a good shooting arrow thats for sure.

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Yep, makin' arrows is a slow process. Now if I hit the target more often, maybe I wouldn't lose so many arrows shooting 3-D courses...

I've made some that should have flown just the way they were supposed to. Others, including the ones I got from "Red Buffalo" a few years back fly just right. Don't know if it's me or the arrows or the bow, but they fly right.

A few pics i was able to capture. I managed to not get any of me this year, again.

I have a few of you shooting that first bow you made. I'll try to get some loaded and posted here soon.

Thanks, that would be great.

The one tinker is drawing, pulls 34" if im not mistaken, but when the pic was taken, he was still coming back on the draw.

Your correct, it draws 34, and I believe we all where still in draw when the pic was taken.

Watching you come back to full draw with that is heart stopping and impressive. I keep wanting to yell STOP! But then i remember oh yeah, i designed it to do that!

It's back to where it was after shooting. I don't know if it being in the ac has anything to do with that.
