Arrows for me!
« on: November 12, 2012, 07:50:00 PM »
I love making arrows and have been fortunate to be asked to make arrows for many others. But sometimes you just have to stop and make some for yourself! haha

These are 80/85's, breasted tapered (11/32"-23/64"-5/16"), 145gr points, Bearpaw 5/16" nocks, with white end spliced fletchings. They fly soooo nice out of my 62#@28" Blacktail "Columbian" longbow. I think these arrows will have to accompany me on a late Blacktail buck hunt this coming week.

Nice work, Snag.  We won't make any comments about you being "two arrows short of a full quiver".

Find a big-un Snag!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Thank you very much for the kind words.

Homebru, I was wondering if someone was going to notice that! haha I bareshafted with the other 2. They are drying as I type this.

Steve, yes they do. That was my intention with these. I hope I get to see that white dot as it disappears into some blacktail hair.

Levi, good hunting! It's snowing up high!

I like that Shinken..."blacktail buck hair-seekin' missiles".  

They really do fly so flat and straight out of this bow. It's a Blacktail longbow that Norm doesn't make any longer. It used to belong to a good man who is no longer with us. So if I am able to connect with a blacktail buck with this setup it will mean a lot to me. I will sure be telling a story!
