New hunting arrows
« on: January 25, 2009, 01:52:24 pm »
These are hunting arrows I just put together. Port Orford shafts with 5" true flight feathers. Stained with charcoal and grey bark and hand rubbed 2 coats of satin poly. Crested with Testors enamel model paint.  Ave weight is 560 grain with 125 grain points. They aren't primitive but my cresting lathe is. :) It gets the job done for aout a hundred bucks less than a real one. These arrows are really dull but the fl. lime makes them easier to find if I ever actually need to track something. Thanks

They look nice to me and would look even better in my quiver ;D

I like your cresting lathe, how about a close up picture of the thingy that holds the nock end?

They look good and as long as they shoot good you're in business.

 Dana, the nock end is held by a peice of 3/8 rubber tubing stuck onto a magnetic chuck for screwdriver bits.
Thanks Cromm.
Tracy, they fly really straight and flat. I'm really happy with this set.

 Nice arrows. You did a really good job on them.  I love the cresting lathe.  That is the best idea I have seen in a while.

Thanks Rick, Pappy, and Frank. I don't know who I copied this lathe idea from but someone on this site made something like this one. I just "built" it out of whatever I could scrounge up in the basement. It works great. :)
