Title: Three new arrows, Eastern Woodland?
Post by: bowtarist on August 15, 2011, 12:51:33 pm

I made these three up in the past week or so.  They are PO Cedar, self nocked, 2 turkey tail fletch and one chicken feather 3 fletch, circ. blade single bevel broadheads glued on w/ my new pitch glue, all wrapped in imitation sinew and sealed in duco.  I looked at a few of these on here and wanted to try.  Thanks Pat for the advice and pictures you've posted on here.  These are my first two feather fletchings, I'd done the other before.  Thought I'd share, dpgratz

Nice Bowtarist. Yopu can cut down the tail feathers a bit if they are too noisey for you.

Thanks for the replys guys.  Yeah, I may cut down the feathers some.  I'll have to look at some more pics to get a feel for it.  Still just shootin' em and seein' where they go and how they act.  They are sorta noisy.  I wouldn't care about it much unless I was hunting squirrel, they are real touchy to the sound of feathers in flight.   ;)  I've already had to repair the 3 fletch.  No problem though w/ the pine sap glue I made last week.  Thanks again for lookin', dpg
