Hello Everyone,
Hunting season is fast approaching. I'm eagerly looking forward to chasing the elk again this season. We have 15 monster bulls right behind the house, but it's a special draw area and I'm never lucky enough to get the tag.
Anyways, my question is: I have been making wooden arrows for a couple years now and am happy with them, however, everytime I straighten them, I get to wondering how straight the rest of you get your wood arrows, and do you have any special tricks??
I get them as straight as I can, but they never turn out perfect. Since wood is so forgiving, they fly fine, however, I'd still like them straighter. Also, there are times when I straighten a shaft and accidentally bend it too far and have to bend it multiple times. Does this significantly weaken the spine of the shaft?
