Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: Dakota Kid on August 06, 2015, 12:03:49 am: I was bummed I missed the bow trade. Just a couple days ago I wondered why the arrow page didn't have a trade. How many arrows are involved and are they hunting or target?

I'd be in, if you don't mind a "beginner". I'm just a bit nervous I won't reach the bar. The talent and experience around here is awe inspiring. I haven't even reached the two year mark as a bowyer or a fletcher yet. I've tied flies for almost a decade so it helps lessen the curve a bit when it comes to the arrows. Most of the ones I make hit the target, which is all that really matters I suppose.

Post by: Trapper Rob on August 06, 2015, 09:39:14 pm: Do you guys think 3 weeks is enough time for you guys to put your arrow together?
As far as the arrow it can be one out of your quiver as long as you put it together.
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: Pat B on August 07, 2015, 12:09:37 am: 3 weeks might just get me motivated.
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: Aaron H on August 07, 2015, 06:47:26 am: 3 weeks it's fine with me
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: smoky#1 on August 07, 2015, 08:45:26 am: three weeks is plenty of time for me.

This is my first trade. Do you typically wait until names are drawn to talk to the recipient to find out spine weight and length?
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: RBLusthaus on August 07, 2015, 03:44:40 pm: I'm in as well.

Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: Pat B on August 07, 2015, 03:57:13 pm: Kid you can wait until you find out who your recipient is and make specifically for them or make one of your typical arrows to send. I'm making a hill cane primitive arrow for my recipient...not knowing who he is or what he shoots.
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: Dakota Kid on August 07, 2015, 05:13:58 pm: I'll go ahead and start on a couple different ones and see what happens. I have a bunch of dried shoots I haven't touched since my boo arrived. I have some arrow wood, wild rose, and salt cedar. I'm really curious about the salt cedar, I've heard good things if you can keep it from checking.

My knapping skills are virtually nil. I've only had one success in 30 or so tries. It's kinda fun so I'll keep trying, but I'll probably go with a ground slate, ground bone, or cold forged stainless as a back up. Yard sale spoons make great broad heads if you don't mind a little metal work.

JoJo......... wall hanger or one you could use to kill a ten point buck, or use at 3D shoots. that's what this is all about. My goal is one that shoots good from your bow.. .... No better feeling that an arrow that I made to help someone with a bow kill or shoot a high score. :)

Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: Fred Arnold on August 08, 2015, 12:33:44 am: I'm in. Nothing better than an arrow exchange. I'll do one of my hill cane shafts that I got from Pat.
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: JoJoDapyro on August 08, 2015, 12:36:21 am: That's the spirit Mr. Arnold!
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: JoJoDapyro on August 08, 2015, 12:37:29 am: I'm thinking Tonkin bamboo, snow goose, and either petrified wood, obsidian or this mystery stone.

Post by: ajbruggink on August 08, 2015, 11:30:13 am: I'm in, 3 weeks is ok for me. Expect something like this from me, but it'll probably be better this time around.
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: Trapper Rob on August 08, 2015, 12:10:31 pm: If I counted right so far we got 16 people I'll get a list of names up who all is in so far.

Post by: mullet on August 09, 2015, 12:02:06 am: One, unless you want to send me six. ;D
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
Post by: Trapper Rob on August 09, 2015, 12:04:14 am: Dan you only need to make 1 arrow to send out. From what I see of your arrows anybody would be lucky to get one your putting out some sweet arrows.

Post by: oldhippy on August 16, 2015, 06:43:31 pm: Cool. Wish more had signed up but that is the way it is, maybe next year. Just to let everyone know that didn't sign up, you are going to miss out on some beautiful arrows. Trapper Rob makes one hell of a nice one, (I have one) and so does everyone else that has been on the trade in the past, Outlaw, Patrick, Good Chris, Bowtartist, and I have yet to get one from Eddie, I bet he can cobble one up. Hippy

Post by: mullet on August 16, 2015, 06:46:54 pm: Yep, I could get one together.
Title: Re: Any Interested In Another Arrow Exchange
