Title: Arrows from the middle of the sea.
Post by: Bitterguy on January 09, 2012, 07:38:36 pm
I got seabass's shipment of shafts today! 13 cedar, 4 cane, some nocks, and some glue! Will start working on them here shortly.

get yourself a cheap pencil sharpener style taper tool.cut them to the length you want.glue on your nocks.get a fleatching jig and glue on your feathers.glue on your points and you are done.there is tons of useful info on here and you tube.those shafts i sent you already are sealed so you can skip that step.go slow,do a little research and have fun with it.if you hit a snag,shoot me a pm and i will be glad to help you.good luck,Steve  Ps.get a three rivers archery catalogue.

that jig works just fine.i had one for a long time but i gave it to hillbilly61.i now use a bitz.you can't beat the bitz,but they are expensive.the jig you are trying to get will work very good for you.make sure you get the one that will work for your feathers.i don't know which wing Pearl sent you.they will be right or left wing.i am sure if you get with Pearl he will let you know which wing he sent you.this makes a difference.ttyl,Steve
