Title: my first arrows
Post by: tdsmoonchild on June 10, 2009, 06:27:00 PM

I recently got a BBO longbow and I wanted a nice set of arrows for it. I was shooting a shakespeare wonderbow with aluminum shafts.

Good job. Those some good looking arrows. I really like the wrapped flus.

Nice work on the arrows. Good luck with them and the new bow during the next season.

Thanks... Took some trial and error to get them right.  One thing I noticed that the spiral fletched flu's are really short range weapons.  The regular flu's are a more medium range.  I cannot say enough about the durability of the bamboo shafts.  I bounced a couple of these off of a stone wall with some wild shots.  Picked them up, still straight, no damage at all!
