Naturals--Surewood tapered shafts
« on: December 31, 2011, 09:07:00 PM »
I received a request to build some of these as part of a trade. I love making them just because they are fun and kind of unique. They are tail tapered down to 5/16" which exposes the natural wood gradually. Just another option, from many, when ordering custom arrows from me.

They look very nice, David.    :thumbsup:

I have two dozen of those shafts waiting on me to get after them.  I had talked with Nate about doing the same treatment to mine, several months ago.  I like the idea.  I might possibly foot them if I can ever find some time    :banghead:

Good looking work David!

I have to tell you guys that I have had David do his master work on many arrows for me, and he does a tremendous good job.  :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. It is a pleasure to build arrows...can't get enough of it! haha These are 11/32" with a 10" tail taper down to 5/16". I have found barrel tapering to my liking also. I took some old ACME's that were 23/64". I put a front taper down to 11/32" and then a tail taper down to 5/16". I found that if you tune these to your draw length and bow you can get arrow flight as good as any shaft material.

Sweet looken kill stick them! I also am a fan of tapered arrows, bothe single and barrel or breasted tapered.

How are you tapering yours mate?
