Made this one up whilst i wait for my Horn and heads to arrive for the rest of the set,
3/8 Ash shaft.
32" long.
7.5" Autumn Brown Turkey fletch.
Red Guttermans stitch whipping,i'm still struggling with uniformity on the whipping  .
Type 1 drop forged head.





Thanks for looking,
Andy

  That's a cool looking arrow Andy.I bet one of those bodkins would go clean through a big boar shield ::)I know what you mean about the stitching,mine were so ugly I gave up.

Nice arrow Andy. My tie down fletchings look like you know what. Your look good to me.   Pat

Thanks lads,i shot this one earlier (when the rain finaly stopped) and it flew like a dream  ,i'm eagerly awaiting the materials to make up the rest of the set.

Great arrow, have fun on your next set with the heads and horn

I will 
I got these feathers from Lloyd last week sometime,but i had no Horn for the nocks or nasty spikey heads to put on them so i couldnt make any arrows,i was gutted  .
Searching through my gear today i found ONE single sliver of horn in the bottom of my tool box  and i had that head hanging around so i got stuck straight to it!
I really like the brown fletchings,looks just like Peacock  .

Loki, I have used rawhide for self nock reinforcements and they worked out very well. Dog chews are a good source. I don't know how traditional it is for you but Glenn St Charles wrote about it in "Billets to Bows".    Pat
