Yes a Wiggly sapling,had to twist one end to line it up!shoots very well and hard! Don't know what's up with sapling bows, they seem to hit harder than flat bows,same as the ocean spray sapling I got from randman in last year's trade.

I wanted to ask a question for you guys.  If you received a set of arrows, hypothetically of course.  Would you rather them be stone tipped or target tipped.  I have been torn on witch to do.  I am doing a set of three.  I can't decide.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks.

Stone tipped would see action in the deer woods if they were mine.

Not in the TRADE this year, ...but if I were, my answer would certainly be STONE TIPPED!

I find the same bushy. That's why I suggested small saplings with high crowns in your elm thread. I got shot down! But Im standing my ground on it and you just proved it yet once again.

Well I got the points mounted hope it's okay they're stone.  I made a new batch of pine pitch adhesive for these arrows and I am very happy with it.  I didn't put any charcoal in with it just ash and a bit of ground up grass.  Now on to fletching and decorating.
