Always like a good shorty...and this one no exception. Especially like the high poundage you got out of it. Must be a bugger to shoot. Nice job  ;)

Thank you, and Josh, the arrows are cane with greesewood foreshafts, and turkey feathers. The cresting is done with charcoal and a great red heavy iron rich rock I found, mixed with runny sap. The red looks like nail polish. Hide glue does not make a good binder on smooth cane. Paul Campbell wrote about the use of sap and it works great

Sweet! Thanks for the info.  I'm going to try that pigment trick with the sap.  Josh
