FYI-
3rivers is now carrying a dvd that Colorado's own, Gary and Connie Renfro have produced on building footed wood arrows and feather splicing.
(Gary and Connie have had several articles published in past issues of Traditional Bowhunter Magazine)
It's called Building the footed arrow.
I just finished watching it, and I gotta tell you, I didn't have any experience doing something like this before I watched it, and now I feel like I could build them myself once I get the tools/jigs.
