These arrows are a beautiful start to your love affair with wood. There is no practical use for our fascination with wood grain and beauty, but it sure makes life more enjoyable. Shoot them well, and with pride, you did a great job. May your tribe increase and your quivers ever be full!

Nice arrows.  It's really rewarding to shoot arrows that you've built yourself.  Keep ya feathers dry & shoot straight!

Nice job bro. I started another batch of some Hildebrand spruce yesterday.  I love making them.  I put together 3 dozen in february for my bows.  The only problem making arrows this time of year is that the humidity quaddruples the time since the humidity makes dry time on the stain about 72 hours.  Then 48 hours per coat of poly.  Anyway, good looking arrow.  God Bless

Well I shot the Kootenai river Western Larch arrows bareshaft today and have them flying well so I loaded up a zwicky tipped woodie and let fly at 20 yards and oh my.  It flew beautifully I am loving these wood arrows. I did adjust nock height comming from GT 5575s but all is well.  
Obviously I am new to woodies but I have some cedars I just picked up and these. I suggest anyone shootimg woods to give jonathon a call and try these out. They seem like they are heavier than the PoC and hit the target HARD. I think I'm a woodie convert. I do need to buy some glue on Judos or hex heads though because 80 % of my shooting is at balls and grass clumps and I almost lost a couple already

Nice arrows. I like "plain old" wood arrows quite a bit.

Maybe it's because I can't duplicate some of the amazing works of art I see on here, but I prefer simple. Nice job!!
