I must have been bad!

"Penance"- An act of self-abasement, mortification,or devotion performed to show sorrow or repentance for sin.

It feels like this might be where I find myself this morning. I know I've lost a few arrows lately, torn up a few more. Lost tips, broken off tips, torn off feathers but to have to resort to this, to stoop down to this level.  AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!

Have I ever told anyone? I HATE building arrows!!!

This is painful to look at but here it is!

My act of penance:
 
 

I will be trying to be better at caring for my arrows....I promise!!

God bless,Mudd

PS: I started this dozen last night and as you can see I have 3 refleteched but still have to put in the inserts.

Perhaps a true penance would be to start with ramin or cane shafts in the raw and have to start from scratch.  I am a lot more careful with my wood arrows than I am with my carbons.  I have way more time invested in them.  But less money.

Penance is good for the soul.  
P.S. I love working on arrows.  I am always in the process of making another dozen or two.  Drives my wife nuts.  She keeps asking how many arrows do you need?

[Mudd]

Clay, I think if I had to start from scratch I'd have to call it torture instead of penance...lol
God bless,Mudd

Mudd,

I think that new hat has you jinxed.

Hey Roy,
What's the deal with your pic posting?

[Mudd]

I wanted to provide proof that I actually am trying to build an arrow. It's my defense mechanism at work.

God bless,Mudd

Stick to being a Habadasher and buy arrows , after all your name is "Mudd"  Just kidding , I enjoy making arrows just not very good at it . But no matter what they look like no animal has complained yet ,   Fred

Looks Good Mudd. I'll make a fletcher out of you yet!

[Mike Spaulding]

I'm with you Mudd!  Making arrows to me is like onion rings.. the first one is good!  The second one, only ok at best.. by the 3rd I'm done.. unfortunatly, there's 9 more to go with arrows.. I just stop eating the onion rings.
