Built my first set of wood arrows. (pics)
« on: January 12, 2013, 04:11:00 PM »
Well my first set for myself anyway. I did build a set a couple years ago for my sister.

This all started with me contacting Magnus about some goose feathers. I had been kicking around the idea of switching to wood for a few years and talking to Matt was the push in the right direction I needed.

Decided to get poplar shafts and bananna cut feathers. After ordering a few other supplies from Braveheart I was ready to give it a go.

I am very pleased with how they turned out and the quality of materials I got from Matt. Shafts where almost perfectly straight out of the box and his feathers are the best!  :thumbsup:  

I'm hooked now!

Thanks guys! They shoot good so far. I have only been able to shoot in basement(raining out). Really need to re-serve or get a new string for these big nocks.

Plan on making another 6 this week that are a bit more colorful. These might be my turkey skewers.
