Meat I never liked the look of grizzlys or the fact that you only sharpen one side of the blade, but George Nagel used them on our piggy hunt and I've never seen a more penetrating head in my life. His arrows just zipped clean thru whatever he shot at. He shot the length of a big boar hog LENGTHWISE! I was totally impressed.

Meat, I will sharpen the grizzly heads on here and shave my arm for you but promise me you won't cut yourself. I will try to find those wensels I have becuase I am afraid you won't have that faith thing going for you shooting a strange head. I suggest you shoot a couple of the grizzlies for practice and when you see how they fly you might be impressed enough. I think because they sharpen on one side they spin inside an animal. I know they spin in foam and are hard to remove unlike a zwickey that will go into the foam straight.  It does mean stuff inside a deer I know and Mickey is telling you about George.

Mickey doesn't like them because he uses rusty ole saw blades and stone points the tightwad. I'll have to see if I got any old ones laying around for him.

Terry, you most certainly can use this any way you want. If I can help some newbie learn something I feel I am giving back because this is how I learned a ton of stuff I never did know and could never figure out because I wasn't smart enough.I will work out the pics with Hook afterwards too.....Mac~

Mac~

I was chatting with the "meat" this evening, and he was telling me about these "killing" arrows you were doing up for him. I mentioned that it may be unfair for him to use "killing" arrows, when I only get to use regular ones   "[laffsmyl]"  

He is lucky to have you doing them for him, I can say for sure I know how much time and attention it takes to make a dozen. (or 11 as it were!) mind ya, I dont have them fancy arra makin tools either. (but they are on the list!)

A matched set of arras is a purty thing!

and I personally prefer grizzlies...no problem sharpening them either...and they fly like, well...arrows! I will have some 70-75# lam birch shafts on the hunt with us, pushing some 190gr. Grizz heads, hopefully we will get the opportunity to find out some penetration results eh Meat?!!!!

Looking good Mac!

Meat,

I'm sharpening challenged beyond comprehension... I own every danged contraption they made to sharpen stuff...

I finally got a Redi Edge from Ed Schlief on a bet..he bet I could make it sharpen anything & I bet I couldn't.  If I could make it work, Ed said I had to buy it.

Long story short, I bought 2!!! It worked.  I sharpened everything I could find and all my friends stuff when I visited....    :D  

Ed had all sorts of bh's up there at Denton one year he'd sharped with that gizmo, the Redi-Edge, and he did the Griz...but it of course, ended up with 2 sides sharp!  

I've done griz like that ever since! And I ask, if it works, so what?  Designed for a chisel 1- side sharp and I made it a 2-sided sharp, and like the nice 3:1 profile.  Might work for you too!

Feel like a vampire cuz I only work nights  on this stuff but here we go again. Now we put on the nocks. They are placed at 90 degrees to the laminations or the parallel grains in a non laminated shaft. Look at the pointer and you will see the laminations. The black mark is parallel to the laminations or layers. Where this mark is  made is the strongest portion of the shaft therefore the string groove on the nock must be perpendicular or 90 degrees to the grain or laminations in this case.

I put the nocks on with Duco Cement. I never liked squeezing from the tube so i just put some on a pad or a board.

I touch the glue and put the nock on with a spinning motion aligning the string groove 90 degrees to the laminations or the grain.

Had I wanted a fancy crown dip I would have applied it before putting on the nocks but I am only going to crest these arrows. I will use  my home made crester. I used an old aquarium pump motor and a dimmer switch. The arrow shaft collet I purchased from an archery suplier.

I use an assortment of brushes and either apple barrel paints or Odds and Ends Fast Drying Enamel from Walmart. They thin easily and dry rapidly. Today we will use yellow, red and gold. Keep plenty of paint thinner or brush cleaner handy for clean up.

I put the shaft into the collet on the end of the motor and turn up the dimmer switch until the arrow spins about 300 rpm. I then place the paint brush with the appropriate color against the shaft and spin  on the paint as the yellow here. An index card with    marks on it guides where I put the paint. It sets tight against the shaft guide and then all the bands are approximately the same size and in the same location. The red bands are next followed by small bands of gold.

Here are two shafts with the finished cresting pattern. Their are cresting tools that can be purchased for about 150 dollars that will do a better job than mine but really unneccessary. Now each shaft is imprinted with a permanent marker  

 

 Dake rih' hon tye...Iriquios meaning Silent Messenger, Tomorrow we will add another top coat of glaze to cover the cresting and the imprinting and then on to the fletching.

It really is almost unfair to the pigs.    :D  

Looking good Mac   :thumbsup:  

I am looking forward to putting those to flight. I just wish the snow here would stop and melt some I would like to get outside to shoot.  I can shoot inside but the most I can get is 13 paces. I need a bigger basement.

Great thread Mac. Fantastic looking shafts. Looks like I gotta build me a cresting machine.
