Title: Hunting set
Post by: Knapper on April 12, 2016, 11:15:00 am

Just finished up a set of points and got them hafted to hunt with this upcoming season. Shafts are river cane with turkey feathers harvested here in Oklahoma.

Very nice, what are your foreshafts made from?

Awesome :) Look out critters.
#5 or the bottom one in first pic looks
like a stemmed point???
I really like that type haft.

Thanks all, Falcon the fore shafts are cedar. I was trying to make a set from local cedar but the spline ended up to light so I cut them up for the shafts.
All hafted with sinew and pine pitch.

Nice! I just made a set of 5 too. Did you start with 6 and have a mishap like me? Busted one in the straightening process. Can't wait to see some game taken with those!

How do you keep from breaking them when you practice?
