Nice Job!

If you get too many laying around you could send sets 3&4 to me (I have a thing for shield cut feathers).

these one were a long time coming. Started these a couple years back. A fellow asked for these, then went back to the darkside before completion. So I tapered them down to 5/16 nock end to remove the old crown, re-crowned them restained them. A little paint and some feather and nocks......

29"BOP home made tapered ash finishing out around 600 grn +/-

They are getting better and better as time goes by. What is the spine weight on these? Those last two sets were HOT!

I think you ought to get your gall bladder out more often.

Those all look really nice. I wish I had the time to make up all those arrows. My side hurts. I think my gall bladder is starting to act up  :)

Really nice, how long does it take you to put em all together? Quite a few so far. Good stuff  :)

I had my gall bladder out last June, so I know how your feel. after you recover you'll be happy that it is gone.

Be carefull & take it slow. You won't be able to shoot for a while, unfortunately. When you can shoot again begin with a low poundage bow, if you have one. If not, what I had to do, just pull your bow back as much as you can, several times a day to build your muscles back up.

Good luck to you & have a speedy recovery.

P.S.  Nice looking arrows!!

I'm just picking at this if I start a set today I will finish them either tommorrow evening or the next morning.

Dry time is the slow part. Cresting takes a little while. If I was using GL for dipping it would be a lot faster. I use poly and like to give it 12 hours between dips.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I've slowed down on the arrow production but instead went out a nd picked up a peice of American Yellow Popal and a peice of Ash to turn some shafts out of. Looks like I'm going to get 42 shafts out of each peice of wood. I'll have to make a set of arrows up out of those soon.

Nice arrows!!

I'm sure the gall bladder is good for something but mine damn near killed me...  Infection is a nasty thing to deal with.
