Title: update for a trade
Post by: jeffp51 on August 28, 2016, 12:46:27 am

I have been making two sets of arrows for a trade with DuBois, who was kind enough to send me some osage, and I thought I would post an update so he knows how it is coming.  The shafts are straightened and sanded to weight and spine--although with bamboo I can only get close on the weight.  Spines are to within 2 pounds of each other, and the weights are to within 2 grams, with the exception of one outlier that is a little lighter.  If I have time, I may replace it, but I don't think it will make a noticeable difference.  the tips are made, but the broadheads need some sharpening.  The fletchings shouldn't take to long.  I still need to paint and seal the shafts.

It took longer than I expected to make a dozen arrows, but they are done now. I will have them shipped off soon.

Really nice bunch of arrows.......that broadhead shape I really like nothing to hang up on as it penetrates.
