Home made arrow shafts
« on: December 31, 2007, 01:01:00 AM »
There was an article a little ways back in the primitive archer magazine about how you can make your own shafts by drilling holes of various sizes into metal and then back boring those holes to make a kind of edge. Then you could take a square piece of wood 3/4 x 3/4" i think and use an electric drill to spin the wood through the holes. Sound familiar to anyone? I just need the particulars sizes of the holes and such thank you-Scott    :archer:

3Rivers used to have them but I don't see them in the new 2008 catalog and nor on their website.  I suppose they have been discontinued. dino
"The most demanding thing you can ask of a piece of wood is for it to become an arrow shaft. You reduce it to the smallest of dimension yet ask it to remain it's strongest, straightest and most durable." Bill Sweetland
