My first few arrows
« on: April 12, 2010, 06:03:54 pm »
Hi guys wanted to share a picture of a few arrows I made and gave to my brother inlaw in exchange for an alaska saw mill and a grove of black locust....I love how the arrows turned out everything was hand made like the stone tips!  He really liked them too and knew there were a lot of time involved.  Thanks guys for looking

Nice job.  One of these days I'll sit down with some flint and see if i have what it takes to make good stone points.....probably lots of my own blood, sore fingers...etc  ;)

Rich I used maple to make the shafts I also used red oak on others I gave away that were equal to these both were perfect spined for around 50 to 60lb draw weight.

I forgot to say I was given some turkey wings both right and left and a tail spread!  These were made fro right wing and hand split.  I sanded the veins smooth.  It was a good fit and I enjoed making them. They shoot wonderful and flew as true as any store bought.

Very nice arrows, pricey  though a grove of locust ?


New Yawk must have changed laws, I have taken a number of deer with flint heads there, and obsidian. Obsidian has to be better then steel.

Smells like Shumer has been at it again. Thanks to him cant wear a Scottish dirk to a wedding or for pipers marching.

My mistake I guess Im kinda new at hunting with flint this is my first time and YOU can hunt in NY as long as 7/8'' non barbed ...OH YEAH!!!  I didnt really care much for where I live other than its rich in history, the Iroquios, huge layers of chert,etc.. its crappy for the amount it costs to live here and the taxes...another story!
