Two things:
I received my trade arrow a while back from dmc, it is a nice fir shaft he made from some really old cabinets, and a nice steel broadhead he made (would not have guessed it was homemade!), and a hardwood self-nock.
I have not shipped a trade arrow to my recipient yet. I let ol hippie know I was going to be late, but I never thought it would be this late. I have many times thought of doing the easy thing, which would be to grab an arrow from my hunting quiver and send it along, but from the get go I had an arrow in mind that I wanted to make for my recipient. I want to stick to that and make it specifically for my guy. So I apologize for the extreme tardiness on this, but I will get this trade arrow made and shipped...
