Title: finished up my privet arrows.
Post by: ntvbowyer1969 on September 01, 2018, 11:15:05 pm

Had a chance to finish my privet arrows. they all flew great except two which isnt to bad out of 20. I used left wings from my turkeys the last two years.I used glue on tips at 150-70grs to match my stones and trade points i will cut in after i tuned them with the glue on trad tips. This test worked out great!!! the lowest the bought tips i could find were 100grs. I then cut the tips with a dremal tool to make them 70gr. I did this because some of my stone tips are only 70-90gr. Some of the arrows that were to stiff for even my 64# bow i kept long and used a heavier tip to change the dynamic spine. This worked out also the achieve great flight. Plus this way i didnt need to discard arrows that didnt quite make the cut. I also played with cutting the arrows shorter to achieve greater weight. So everything i read about and watched videos on is the truth and works great. I wished i would of known these tips years ago. I rendered many a arrows to be used as a tomato steak/ marshmallow sticks.I painted the arrows by hand,sinew wrapped fletchings,and cut in snap on locks to all arrows. As i stated in another post privet makes great arrows and straightens great and sands easily. I love the heavy weights you can achieve with them and you are doing good for our woods/forests since they are a invasive species. I painted the arrows to match the three bows i am going to use this season. good luck everyone.(http://[img]https://i.imgur.com/2M4SrSl.jpg)

Nice to see you  taking the time to bareshaft and tune arrows. It really does open your eyes and improve your arrow flight. Nice results.

I tried privet, my arrows were heavy and tough but were like snakes, nothing could keep them straight.
