My first cane small game arrow...
« on: June 12, 2010, 05:19:00 PM »
I just finished making a cane arrow for stumping/ small game.  The cane is from 3Rivers.  I added a hardwood internal footing and use a .30/30 case for the head.  Real turkey feather 2 fletch, a self nock, and artificial sinew are used.  I have no idea of the spine (I'd guess around 65), but the finished arrow weighed 540 grains.

Out of my BBO (55#@30"), it hits right where I look.  I'll have to trim the feathers, though. They're pretty loud.

I'll make the next one a little longer and a little cleaner.  My sinew wraps look a little sloppy.

I just went out and shot a bunch of dirt clods and wood chips.  I used my Howard Hill Halfbreed and it flew great.  I did trim the fletch down and it's really quiet in flight now.

The only downside is that it's almost invisible in flight.  I need to figure out how what to add for some high visibility.

I imagine that blunt would knock the stuffin' out of a squirrel or rabbit.

Chartruese or White. I've lost a few all natural barred turkey with cane while stumping. I've found a few while trapesing the same area but if I would have used a brighter color they would have been easier to spot.
