Well, my first wood arrows. Nice tapered shafts from Bob Walker, footed them for length with Reparows, some nice OneStringer wraps, points and feathers from The Nocking Point..... a little time and effort.
Then this!!!!!!!! :knothead:
A full Dz never last long....That first one always hurts....
That is repairable! Gring a long bevel to the damages area and match the bevel with another piece of shaft. Glue and wrap the splice, retaper for a nock and you are good to go. I have used this repair on a few arrows(some with reinforced self nocks)and never had one fail.
Good shooting BTW. Pat
"Remember, arrows are expendable ammo." Just like yesterday when I sacaficed a $10 arrow to the Gods.
Congrats on the Robin Hood!
Hey Bob,
When a guy shoots as well as you do, he's gotta expect to damage an arrow from time to time!!!

That's why I build 14-16 arrow dozens. Hap
Nice goin' Bob!
Hey, what spine did you end up with?

Eric:
They are 85-89 with 145g points + walnut reparows on the tip. Total arrow weight is 825+/-. They may still be a touch stiff, and I want to find some in the 80-84 just to see what happens. I may try 160's on point weight to see what they do too, but I mostly just want to shoot some.
With the long draw, even the slightest imperfection is really magnified - just like my golf swing (or lack of - LOL). But when it all comes together, man-oh-man is it a thing of beauty!
You make meat with that Shrew yet? I still have to wait for the 19th...... :banghead:
5 dot targets were made for folks like you! It allows every shot you make to be "your 1st arrow".
Congratulations on mastering the bow!!
God bless,Mudd
