Great job!

Yeah Bernie, I Of-The-Failing-Eyesight would like to put Tracers on My Arrows!!      :rolleyes:  
  Do Ya Buy them or are they just Left Over Croaked Bunny Fuzz?  :confused:

Shakes, You can buy it in little packs of small strips with adhesive on the back (I did my first ones). Cut strips and glue yourself as the poster did in this thread. Now i do as Dano taught me to: just cut little circles out of rabbit hide/pelt (Quarter or nickle size), cut an X in the center, slip on back of arrow and dab a little glue of choice where the slits touch the arrow.

BTW Shakes I keep meaning to thank you for signing my Guest Book on my web site - it means a lot when folks do. I usually thank folks that do by e-mail but you didn't leave one (which is OK to). Thanks a bunch - visit often.

That's a gorgeous arrow, Brad....some serious mojo too, to go with those pretty bows!

Brad, since we are talking about the arrows and the tracers, I trust you won't think I am trying to steal your thread - just add to a existing thread about arrows. (I still like your arrow a whole bunch - trust me.) I finished the cheap Ramin Dowel arrows I was working on for my new Wood Lam Bow that I recently finished. These arrows are 29" BOP, 35-40 spine, 125 gr points, Dark Walnut stain, arrow wraps in a white to orange gradient , Fl Orange Nocks (for some reason none of the orange shows up quite as dark as it actually is), Wild Turkey feathers I cut with my Vario Cutter, and Rabbit skin tracer discs I cut out and attached as mentioned earlier. There is a fairly wide varience in weight (480-515, and one weirdo that is 560 ) but it doesn't seem to matter much - yet. I shot the arrows this evening with my bow and they seemed to behave quite well. They definitely will never match your Cane arrow above, though IMO (I love Cane Arrows) - but they'll git-r-done. Thanks for sharing the thread. Gotta get some more Canes to this point now - LOL.
PS - oh yeah, 3 coats of Tru-oil for finish (before the wrap).

That is a beautiful cane arrow. The point is exceptional. Well done!
   The cheapest place I have found tracer material is from a fly tying shop. They are called rabbit zonkers. They are precut and there is enough to do a couple of dozen arrows for $1.50 or so.    Pat

ps. They come in many colors, also.

John Kiernan is a truly exceptional knapper.  He's the best there is at intricate work, although I don't think he's ever made "working" points before.  Here's a photo of his normal style of knapping, although it's far from "typical."  I'm not sure how you could get one of those on an arrow, but I'm sure the flight would be memorable...  GGG

 

[knife river]

By the way, Brad, is that tie-dye brain tan behind that beautiful arrow?        

[Little Tree]

That knapping is insane!
