Nothing like just about non stop rain in the south to dampen a man's enthusiasm. Glad there was cover available to work on four more arrows. The other potential shafts will just have to wait until another day. The two on the right, with the four inch fletching were done last weekend, and are oak. The four new ones are white pine. They are tipped with 125gr field points. Hand planed them using Jawge's tutorial for making simple arrows. All self nocks. Might be dry enough outside tomorrow to try and shoot them a few times. Will need mud boots to walk across the lawn though.

Think a lot of folks in this sport would say, "why bother?"
IMHO, all that does is make you a more complete "archer" as oposed to a bow shooter.
Amazing how one thing can lead to another.
The patience and for thought to what you want for the end results is a big part of the total sport.
Great job! I've never done a board arrow (yet). I can only envy the time and dedication it takes to produce such works of art.
Again,, good job! :) I like!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys. The two oak arrows shoot well, but only one of the white pine shoots well out of my fifty pound bow. Really need to put myself to making a spine tester.
