footed woodies with cocobolo
« on: March 26, 2009, 10:45:00 PM »
Well JonS( i can't spell your last name)  ;)    had a thread up a while back about some footed arrows he did. I thought that I would try it, but I made my own footing blanks out of cocobolo. They not only look good, but they added on average 80-90 grains up front. I had to drop my point weight accordingly, but they fly great and hit like a freight train. Thanks for lookin.

They look great! How did you shape the tapers on the main shafts?

I am impressed!!!  And you said that so non-chalantly "I thought I would try it" .

Then BAM!

Nice job!

I shaped them with a hand plane. I've seen them done with a belt sander as well. Thanks Jake, how have you been? Other than getting ready for hogs   :thumbsup:
