 Nice arrows, Dana. I was like you last year, except I sacrificed a Tonkin from 5'  on the fox target to see what would happen to it. It split in four sections and could be squished back together and wrapped and shot some more.

 Right now I have over 300 arrows and Art just PM'd me the other day and has 6 of Pat's hill cane arrows on the way to the house. ;D

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Be sure to mark the targets where you loose them so they will be easier for me to find when you are gone.  ;) ;D ;D Nice arrows.

DanaM,  Alton "Longbow" Safford is 93 and still shoots and makes bows and arrows and he said you can never have enough feathers, arrows, buckskin, sinew, etc.  I see that the fletching is spiral wound like some Japanese and old English arrows.  Are the turkey feathers glued down?  If so, why bother with the spiral wrap?  Do you have a small piece of dowelling glued into the cavity of the Tonkin cane at the piel end before you taper the business end of the arrow for the fiedl points?  Nice low visibility for hunting but may be hard to find if lost in the grass.  Have fun at the Classic.
