One round of straightening and sanding and I feel like they will end up nice
-
they look good to me, I shot a cow elk last fall with one of those boo shafts I got from you they sure made good tough arrows.
-
I am finishing up a set also from shafts Billy gave me. They seem like good sticks to me too.
-
The ones that made the cut, the others were either broke or the spine was off, I might be able to save one more
-
Duck that is awesome! I feel honored that you took one of my shafts on a hunt like that. Do you have any pictures?
-
I saved one with a broken nock, I used a bamboo skewer insert and an 11/32 nock
-
heres the only pic i've got of the elk, i shot her at 50 yards with a 65#@30 pse longbow, and a 155 gn tusker broadhead and got a complete pass through, she walk/trotted about 25 yards looked back over her shoulder and fell over, from the time i released the arrow to when she fell was maybe 15-20 seconds, an outopsy (gutting) revealed she had died from big holes in both lungs. thanks a ton billy they are great arrows.

Are those Home Depot boo sticks..?
-
I believe that some of the ones that I sent to killer duck were HD shafts, but these are from bamboo trading co.
-
i'm pretty sure you said mine were from the bamboo trading company, but i could be wrong that was quite awhile ago.
-
Yes duck most were from bamboo trading co, but I think I threw in a few from hd, they are really the same thing
-
Looking good, but I would make a suggestion that you cut your nocks in to line up with the leaf scars. 12 and 6 o'clock position. Then find the stiffer of the two side and place that against the strike plate.
-
I made the nicks according to which side is stiffer... I don't know if that makes them line up with leaf scars. But if not I cannot do both on the same arrow.
