Title: Trade arrows from killer duck
Post by: huisme on February 09, 2014, 08:25:19 pm: This is my first set of decent arrows, I can finally kiss over spined carbons goodbye ;D

They're 50-55# spine, I believe goose fletched bamboo with field points. They work perfectly with my mollegabet, and they've been through the cardboard and carpet about a dozen times each. They even match the wood ::)

I'll get a shot of them with the bows once I feel like I can reach full draw again. For not it's hot noodle soup and lots of loafing around :o

Thanks again ;D

Yep I always wrap the knocks imo if you don't your asking for a busted knock.

Post by: killir duck on March 10, 2014, 01:47:50 am: That was some good cane Greg, the reason I still had some left was because they are so tough I only need to make 12-15 target arrows a year.
