Due to increases late last year in the prices of feathers, shipping, etc. it got to the point where I was building and shipping a dozen arrows for a mere $4 in profit, as I felt $43 tyd for six youth arrows was pretty much the upper limit on price.
After my heart attack in March I decided that I needed to spend a few more hours at night sleeping rather than getting up at 2am to catch a few more hours to build arrows before going to work.
I have to say that the opportunity to provide some nice wood arrows for the younger generation of Trad Ganger's was a distinct privilege in my life, and in addition to all of the orders, I greatly appreciated all the fine comments and photos I received from children, parents, and grandparents during that time.
