Here is a dozen arrows built for a friends 70th birthday. Hickory foreshafts, turkey fleches, boo shafts.

Dang Grunt you have been busy my friend!!!  Those arrows are great man.  Sure to make your friends birthday very special.  Does he shoot?  Hey my birthday is in April if you get too bored between now and then!  ;D  I love the turquoise-color on the cresting!    :)  :)  -josh

Ishi did not become the arrow, I suspect. The arrow became Ishi.

Hickory firehardened foreshafts that have a 2"tendon that fits inside the boo. I've got a little lathe that lets me knock em out. Self nocks with a dot of paint to align the cock feather. The blue,green and brown are colors from the American Mountain Men flag. My friend Tom is a hardcore member and I was a member thirty years ago.

After  making  my  first  set  of  boo  arrows  I   took  a  close  look  at  your  nocks,  they  look very  good,  I  did  notice  there  doesn't  seem  to be  any wrap  around  the  base  of  the nock,  if  that  is  the  case  have you had  any  breakage  on  your  nocks  in  the  past?
Thanx

So far so good. All the nocks have a boo "joint" backing them up.
