You did?!?  Please Do tell.  I love cane arrows but straightening is tedious.

nothing like 5 minutes!  i was just saying i got my time down from like an hour.  using a heat gun really just heats up one spot, so i found if i wanna straighten a gradual bend, i slowly move and rotate the area in front of the heat gun, then bend it out.  then it straighten out the small spots. 

also, i got my feathers and fletching chopper in today!  its a lot of  work prepping the feathers, i had forgotten!  anyways, most of the  feathers ive done so far, ive gotten at least 2 fletches out of it, so im happy.  also, i took one of my canes and stuck some fletching on it with some super glue, which works so well!  now i just gotta get my artificial sinew from work to wrap the ends, and put a point on it.  then ill post a pic.
