New sitka spruce arrows.

[Morgan]

Pat, very nice looking arrows! Forgive my ignorance, but what is a “zonker”

[chamookman]

Way cool Pat - Sitka Spruce was Jay Masseys favorite shaft  ! Bob

Morgan, a rabbit zonker is a thin strip of rabbit hide/fur that is sold in fly fishing shops for making flies.
Thanks Bob. Jay is one of my archery heros.

Nice arrows Pat.  I love Sitka spruce

Nice arrows Pat!

Fur for tracers.... Might have to go get a few bunnies 

[Pat B]

Lot easier and less mess to buy a pkg of zonkers from a fly tieing shop for $3.50. They are already cut into 1/8" strips.

I have these arrows finished up and ready to bloody. The trade points are from Kevin Halverson. Thanks again Kevin. Finished arrows came in 2 at 506gr, 2 at 508gr, 1 at 511gr and one at 520gr. when I added the trade points, pitch glue, sinew wrap and pitch varnish to seal.
A few pics...

Really nice Pat. The animals should be lining up waiting their turn for those.

Always love your arrows Pat! Them look like gooders! You've not shot them yet? How's that spruce for a arrow?

[Pat B]

I shot the dozen a bunch with field points and picked these 6 for broadheads, Derik. Then I shot these, I always shoot a broadheaded arrow before I will hunt with it. They all shot well so I'll shoot each again and pick the order they will go in my quiver.
The spruce makes a great arrow. Very straight but a bit brittle and a bit light although with these broadheads these are all over 500grs.

Very cool lookin bullets... never used fletch tape before, how'd like it?

[Pat B]

I like fletch tape just fine especially with the forward and rear fletch wrap.

Pat
if those shoot half as good as they look.
they will make meat for sure.
