Well Im gonna try and take the plunge and give a go at making some arrows. Just curious what else ya'll think I need?
I have so far..
Jig
Burner for glues and what not
Glue bottles
Shaft Cutter
Also picked up a fletching stripper
Some weighted brass washers
Fieldpoint Test Kit
Now besides arrow supplies ie shaft inserts etc etc...
What else would I need?
Also what types of glues would be best to use? I enjoy aluminums and shoot them mostly but would like to get into woodies in the near future. So which adhesives to ya'll recommend for inserts and fletching?
Arrow building is one of my favorite past times, you'll love it.
For aluminum I like Ferrule Tite for inserts, I like regular Fletch Tite for bare aluminum fletching and Fletch Tite Platinum over wraps.
Duco works great on woodies over poly.
Lots of good options though, everybody has their method from different glues to Fletch Tape.
thanks for the quick reply bud heh
also where would i pick up alcohol for the burner? is it regular every day alcohol found at the pharmacy or is there a special type used?
Denatured alcohol in your paint section at walmart. lowes or even homeless depot
Try fletch tape.You wont have to wait when you want to shoot one rigt away.It is lots of fun.
soopernate ty!!
herk ill have to try that as well ty
Tom, I agree with the others too... everything You have, You can also use when you turn to the woody side of arrow making... :readit:
Saunders NPV glue, is one of the best i've used. Only thing I don't use it on is wraps. Thats when I use Fletch-Tite Platinum.
thanks sal and when i switch to woodies I'll head back over to your place so we can test some spines out for my ancient spirit!!
