first foreshaft arrow

[PeteC]

Great lookin' arrow Pat.I agree with you.The foreshaft is great for both adding weight to cane,and gettin' more weight forward. Good job!!.   Merry Christmas and God Bless

Pat, that is one cool arrow I especialy like the fletching job. How long is that foreshaft? I just started on foreshafts also, but I have been making mine from Rosewood doweling, total foreshaft is 4" with 2-1/4" inserted into the cane shaft. Also, I seat mine with a shoulder on the foreshaft that is the same diameter as the cane. I am beginning to think that this shoulder is just extra work.

Sweet looking arrow Pat. Not only cane with foreshaft, but two fletch beside.  I like it a lot.  Justin

The fore shaft on this arrow is about 5 1/2" long. I don't think the length matters too much. It was a piece of a sourwood shoot I had cut for arrows but was too small in diameter. All I did was taper the end of the foreshaft as I would for a glue on head and a tapered socket in the cane and use super glue to attach it. This is the way others have shown me. I made it so the foreshaft comes out when shot into an animal. The way you have done it would prevent the foreshaft from coming off. That isn't necessarily a problem, just different.  
   Justin, these simple primitive methods work well and fit better in our type of archery.     Pat
