Post by: stickbender on December 10, 2010, 02:17:42 am: Dang, those are nice Scott! You certainly do nice work. ;) Do the banana fletched arrows fly straighter than the traditional delta type fletching, or have you not noticed any difference? I like the delta style, mostly for aesthetics, but I do believe that the banana fletching is more aerodynamic. But those are beautiful looking arrows, and quiver.!

When I bought precut feathers I got 5 1/2" high back shields. Enough surface area to spin Stone Mountain...but pretty quiet. The times I shot bananas they seemed noisy to me. ??? Doesn't make sense looking at the shapes. But I love the look of bananas. They seem to go with the flow! 8)

Post by: oneeye on December 10, 2010, 03:05:54 am: Thanks Pat. I still like the looks of the shield cut though.

For some reason the bananas look more african to me. ;D

Post by: stickbender on December 10, 2010, 03:11:16 am: That's the style I was thinking of, I just callled them deltas, I thought the sheild was the short target type fletch. I like the fletching long and low. ;)

Post by: markinengland on December 10, 2010, 03:25:58 am: Very nice arrows and quiver.

At first glance I thought the fletching were bound on but I see that is some kind of spiral decoration.

What kind of leather is the quiver?

Post by: Cameroo on December 10, 2010, 09:01:06 am: That's some damn fine craftsmanship. I think I would be afraid to use those arrows, for fear of losing one.

Post by: oneeye on December 10, 2010, 12:46:33 pm: Thanks for the nice compliments everyone.

Thanks Nate, I just used scrap rattlesnake pieces for the cresting.

Mark, The body is 8 oz saddle skirting I believe and I think the strap and overlays are 5 oz oil tan? with a beaver fur lining around the rim.

Post by: Little John on December 10, 2010, 08:22:17 pm: Great arrows and awsome quiver. I am a big fan of qoose fletches as I get tons from geese hunting buddies. I also like the bananna cut, especially for when I am going to wrap the back end of them. Kenneth

Andy, Piece of cake for the snake wrap. Trim your snakeskin to the length you want and leave the width a bit oversize. Soak in warm water for a bit, rub off excess water and spread some tb2 on it. Stick it on the shaft and trim with a razor. Perfect fit everytime.
