All these years putting all my energy into Selfbow-making, and just making arrows that, well, just do the job. Well, things are starting to come full circle for me now with a new passion to construct some nice arrows. This particular arrow was made from a cane shaft gifted to me by Michael Brooks..(thanks bud), and a beautiful point by knapper John Kiernan from TX. (Even though he wants all to know that this is only his "C" work!!) WOW, I hope someday I will be able to match his "D" or even "E" work.
Arrow stats are as follows.
Buffalo horn nock
Raw Texas Chert point/sinew haft
N.C. river cane shaft
India Ink stain and Tru-Oil finish
Wild Turkey RW High-backed shields
Snowshoe Hare tracer
510 grains
50 spine
Can't wait to draw blood with it!
Hope you enjoy

Very, very nice. I'd proudly shoot that piece of artwork any day.

Very nice job, Brad. Don't know how I missed this but I am glad Mike (Brooks) directed me too it. I would hate to have not seen it. Working on some (both Canes and Ramins) myself, in lighter spine, and wish I had the patience to make them that nice. Hopefully they'll at least be shootable (and, later on, death-dealing, if the opportunity arises - LOL). I plan to use them primarily with my (first) Wood Lam bow (the one that Mike helped me with) but also my other wood bows. I use tracers on mine too.

Stunning...

Matt Fowler · « **Reply #13 on:** April 27, 2007, 07:30:00 AM »

Excellent!! How do you put the "tracer" on? Any effect on flight or speed?

Little Tree · « **Reply #14 on:** April 27, 2007, 07:34:00 AM »

Thanks guys....Matt, the tracer is very light and thin hide. Just a 1/4 wide strip cut and glued on with some instant fletching glue. Does not effect flight, and really stands out in low-light conditions.

ber643 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2007, 08:31:00 AM »

I'll vouch for that on the tracers - I love 'em.

AnointedArcher · « **Reply #16 on:** April 27, 2007, 09:07:00 AM »

That is one beautiful arrow!

Izzy · « **Reply #17 on:** April 27, 2007, 10:05:00 AM »
