Title: Old School Arrows
Post by: wooddamon1 on March 05, 2013, 04:03:00 PM

I had some old cedar arrows in a box an old gentleman gave me years ago and a thread I saw on here with repro arrows inspired me to make sure they get to see the woods again this fall.

 Shafts are from the 50's. I removed the old feathers and nocks, repainted the caps and touched up the cresting. I used Classic nocks and a barred cock, but they're kinda close to original.

I'm not sure if these were made up at home or bought, no markings on them. Hope you enjoy...

Done except I want to find some old Razorheads for deer this fall:

Beautiful.  That sky blue color with barred turkey feathers look is definately a classic.  Reminds me of an arrow my uncle gave me back in the mid sixties when I was seven years old.  It had natural barred turkey hen feathers and a blue barred cock feather.

Thanks! I gotta say, TRAP inspired me to get crackin on these after seeing all his nice repros. I just tweaked a couple details to get these how I like my wood arrows. I'll have to wait until fall to hunt with these, I don't think I can fool a turkey with these colors. I like the old school stuff more and more all the time.
