Author Topic: If you want fancy, don't look here.....Arrow Build Along (Update PG6) Wannabe1 Contributor 2012 Member # 7774 posted                     I used a blower I had to speed up the drying time a little. Here are the shafts on their 3rd and last coating of urethane. Will hit them one more time with the steel wool (to me it is important to use a fine steel wool or the shaft will dry with a rough finish) and they'll be ready for the nock tapering. -------------------- "TGMM" Family of the Bow.

Ohio | Registered: Sep 2008  |  IP: Logged |  Wannabe1 Contributor 2012 Member # 7774 posted                     Thanks Matt but, it's a mess to me! Ok, I tried to get a good pic of the shafts after drying and steel wool. They came out with a nice soft sheen and very uniform in color in my opinion. For tapering the nock ends, I use the Tru-Center Taper from 3R's and the Wiffen taper tool. I start with the Tru-Center Taper and finish with the Wiffen. Don't know why but, it works better for me that way. Individual results will vary. -------------------- "TGMM" Family of the Bow.

Looking forward to the arrow building lesson. Posts: 24 | From: indiana | Registered: Jan 2010  |  IP: Logged |  Wannabe1 Contributor 2012 Member # 7774 posted                     If you're new to building arrows, one of the key factors for installing the nock is to ensure that the wood grain of your arrows is correct to the alignment of the string. By this I mean that the string runs vertical so the wood grain of the arrow needs to be horizontal. I like to use the classic nock due to the little bump on the side. I make sure it is in line with the wood grain plus it points to my cock feather. -------------------- "TGMM" Family of the Bow.

Some may think my taper is short but, I fill the nock with glue and then attach to end of arrow. This helps bring the nock flush to the arrow and I don't have to do any doctoring later. I've yet have a nock fail this way. -------------------- "TGMM" Family of the Bow.

I do nothing fancy to my arrows, just stain/seal/fletch/shoot! Good work! Posts: 386 | From: Minnesota | Registered: Feb 2010  |  IP: Logged |  Wannabe1 Contributor 2012 Member # 7774 posted                     Yep, these are for shooting and hunting. Not looking at! I've seen some beautiful arrows that would have been just to hard for me to shoot or hunt with. My arrows are tools and while not an arrow master builder, I build them to get the job done. I did the ones below some time back and hunted with them this last season. -------------------- "TGMM" Family of the Bow.

Next will be the fletching process but, I am waiting on an order from 3R's as I changed my mind in my fletch color. Hopefully it will be here Monday.
