Here's a set I made a while back. They are modern traditional, and made from tonkin cane.





Thanks for taking a look.

OK, so far we have entries from:

ZanderPomo

Limey-Josh
jackcrafty
DanaM
anglobow
mitchman

There's still plenty of time to enter arrows.....this thread will remain at the top of the "Arrows" forum until January.  If we get a lot of entries before then (say...about 20), I will ask Eddie if we can take an early vote.

OK now I know what pokeberries are, when we were kids we would squish them on ourselves and pretend we had been shot.  Come to think of it,  that was pretty weird. ???

Here are 3 of my hunting arrows for this year. Hill cane, self nocked shafts, Eastern Woodland style 2 fletch and  one modified 2 fletch, tied in with sinew. Two obsidian points and one Texas chert point all hafted with pitch glue, sinew wrapped and sealed with pitch varnish(all sinew wraps). Points were made by others, not me. Arrow weights from 551gr to 621gr.

Those look awesome Pat!  The hill cane looks really bright...did you peel off the outer layer or is it natural?  Did you reinforce the nocks with wood plugs?
