Here's a set of 5 Western Red Cedar target arrows with 2 matched hunting arrows. The shafts were turned from a board on my Simple DIY router jig Version 2.0 which can be found on page two of
https://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,56341.15.htmlI used to put a ton of time into customizing my arrows with cresting, unique wraps, etc.; but the last 2 or 3 years I've preferred a plain Jane, get-r-done arrow. Mostly because I break and lose a lot of arrows! It doesn't sting as much to break arrows that take 30 minutes each vs. 2+ hours.
23/64 Diameter
60-65# spine
11/32 glue on points
Self nocks
5" Wild turkey feathers - target arrows are stripped, hunting arrows split and sanded.
Fletched with Bitz w/ straight clamp and trimmed with scissors
Artificial sinew wraps
Boiled Linseed Oil finish
These fly nicely out of a 70# Osage bendy handle. I've found that it takes a very tight grained piece of WRC to make a shaft suitable for hunting weight bows. They also break easier than other species when impacting or deflecting off hard objects. This set turned out nice but I'll probably abandon WRC in the future.
