Great job to both you and Magnus!

God bless,Mudd

PS: A special thank you to Magnus!!!
I saw those the other day when you were shooting them into the target, and just figured you hadn't burned them yet.  What is the reasoning to keep them full height?

Very nice, i think the splices make the arrow.  Too bad when we shoot an animal that arrow fletch is done.

Not true. Wash 'em out as quick as you can and you should be able to salvage them. I have used the same two arrows the last four years and have 7 deer between them.

I've got arrows in boxes that have never been shot...that I made up over 10 years ago! Half-dozens help.........................a little!  :D

I left them just because they look cool, make them easier to find in the woods and will drop off, just further out than a flu-flu with more feathers.

You are much more patient than I. I haven't the patience for splicing. Great job on some beautiful arras. How do they shoot?

They look very nice, it's apparent you put a lot of work into them. Much better than average for an experienced arrow smith.
