I'll try to get a few taken also. If you search back last July and August there should be pics of the sets Art made for Kenneth and I for our elk hunt.     Pat

Art Butner!    Art is a true artist when it comes to building arrows, especially cane but all of his arrows are not only beautiful but hunt worthy.  8)        Pat

   Here's some of my arrows that I have been lucky to get from Art. Some of these are dating back to 2005. The double edge broadheads are Art's Trade points. These are some of the prettiest, straightest bamboo and cane arrows along with the lone poplar arrow you will see. I'm really proud to be able to hunt and shoot these great looking arrows. The sun is so bright today, these pictures don't really do them justice. Enjoy! :)

Glad to see that you still have a few of my arrows left Eddie. Looks like you're not near as hard on arrows as I am  ;D. How's those trades holding up?

Takes good material to make good arrows Pat, and like I said, you got the best weed (hill cane that is) around! How's your hunting going?

Knightd, haven't made many arrows lately but I've got a few pics of earlier arrows. Will see what I can dig up. ART B

  Art, the reason I'm so nice with those arrows is I pick GOOD shots. If I trash one I want it to be at meat. I still have to put a foreshaft in the one the hog bit off. The trades are holding up real well, they sharpen up quick,, , I've had three misses with them so far, >:(  I'm going out in the morning, maybe I can stick something. I found some Sasa bamboo at a job site, it's dry now.., ::) O:) :)

Those does are ten times harder to kill then a buck Pat. Don't make it too challenging for yourself, go after the bucks >:D! Our season doesn't come in for another two weeks yet. My legs are getting to bad to chase them critters much anymore. May have to wait till the bucks and does dumb-up at rut time and let 'em come to me ;D. All are doing fine, will see most of them tomorrow, will tell 'em you said hey.

I pick good shots too Eddie, only I don't shoot very well anymore :'(! Really don't like that Sasa boo Eddie, but I hear tell that's Cade's favorite arrow material >:D ;D-ART B

 Dang Art, those are some pretty shafts. I make my own and have never envied those of others,but: That cane is just too pretty.I might have to rig a trade with someone and try it out. Beautiful work you have there.  Frank

Thanks guys, I'm glad that you enjoy seeing some of my work! There's a lot of work involved in making your own arrows from shoots or boards but in my opinion well worth the effort. I would encourage everybody to give it a try. Not only for personal satisfaction but as a cost effective way of of reducing the ever rising cost of of arrow shafts/componets.

Hey Kenneth, after getting my first taste of elk meat this past summer I want to urge you to hunt a little harder this year  ;D! Good hunting and best of luck!-ART B

Wow! Those are some really fantastic arrows. I'm not sure I could shoot without a little fear of losing one. Thanks for the pics. Incredible craftsmanship.
