I got inspired by Brads bunnie buster arrows & made some

Scary when Brad inspires someone..

Got home yesterday from a 4 day 3D camping event and 4 hour drive.

Today is a day of rest and recuperation..

Hey!!!
I'm a very inspiring person.

People always say they wanna drink more when they're around me. Seems pretty inspirational to me.

People tell me, I am more interesting, when they are drinking.

Refinished a riser from a bow that fell out of the back of the truck onto pavement. Clear coat wheel finish

Chopped out turkey feathers and roughed in self nocks on tonkin bamboo arrows.

Very nice Roy!

I like to build my own shafts and arrows too. Sometimes, one of my friends who hunt will bring me turkey wings and I will grind and chop my own fletchings as well. One of these days I'm going to try a feather burner.

I seldom see much discussion of arrow building on Trad Gang. Maybe we could create a forum specifically for arrows/arrow building? That might be cool.

I just got rid of a chopper. Just didn't care for it.

Burning is my favorite. Very versatile.

The Young burner is pretty pricey these days but there are a bunch of DIY projects on YouTube.

I have an old Young feather burner that was given to me many years ago by an old archer that had it for many years. Still works like new. I burn feathers on the front porch with a breeze blowing...although it the wind shifts my beard smells like burnt feathers for hours.

I have a nice set of Sitka spruce arrows in the works. I'll post pics when done. I made a trade for some trade points that will go on 6 of them.

Bet ya smelt purty, Pat.

LOL

Looking forward to seeing the arrows.

I bought a Vario Clipper several years ago and put my Young feather burner on the Trad Gang St Jude auction, the Vario is that good. I wish they still made the Vario but I understand that Herb in Canada is making a replica.

I finally got the Bocote sealed and finished up and added a really bad first attempt at a handle wrap that I will redo someday. 47# @ 28 and sends them pretty good. It's a 62" KennyM design and I can't be more please with the performance. I won't brag much on aesthetics since that was all my doing

All in all though I would say that within 15 yards 3 out of 4 critters have cause for concern.
