Finished my arrows for the 2022 season
« on: August 18, 2022, 03:12:04 PM »
Woohoo! I finished my arrows for the season! These are a labor of love I do every year with some special help from my teammate and wife, Leah. This year the shafts are Douglas Fir from Surewood Shafts. I cut them to length, put on the point and nock tapers, and then burned patterns onto them using a butane torch. After the burning, I stained them and then turned them over to Leah so she could bling them out with paint and markers. I sealed the shafts with several coats of polyurethane and then fletched them and glued the points on. All that is left to do is to start shooting them! Arrow specs: The shafts spined 60-65 pounds and the arrows are 28.5" long from nock valley to back of point. They weigh approximately 680 grains. Six have 190 field points and the other half dozen have 190 grain Meathead broadheads.

It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Nice Dave!

Luckily my 2022 season started the 1st of January.  If not, I'd go bonkers. :jumper: :jumper: :jumper:

In other words, it started before it ended.  :shaka:

Those beauties look ready for some fine action.

Have tuned and have been shooting my spec'd arrows.

Dave, I've enjoyed your season arrow post in the past and this one didn't disappoint!
I'm confident that if I came across one of your arrows in the woods, I'd be able to return it to its rightful owner...... "an archers' arrow is as telling as their signature"
