I found these footed shafts in the "Sponsers Classified" from Great Basin Footed Shafts. These shafts are well worth the money spent. I hope Redant 60/65 enjoys them as much as I enjoyed making them, (good for the soul). If you are looking for Footed shafts GBFS are outstanding....

Great job and good heart Mark! I'm still shooting the arrows I got from you. Of course mine weren't footed but nice arrows none the less.
Thanks for sharing!
God bless,Mudd

They look great, your friend should plenty of use from them. Looks like a four point footed cedar with purple-heart. Nice work.

I have a dozen footed shafts coming from Kye at Great Basin. Great guy to deal with, can't wait to get the shafts. A little cabin fever therapy!

Thanks Mark
Guy's these arrows shoot as well as they look, I told Mark that I have shot a Javelina with every kind of arrow except for a wood, so as always here I am with some footed arrows, to nice to hunt with, but I will with great pride. Thanks again Dude. :notworthy:

Those are sweet!

Does anyone have a link to DIY?
Tried to search in the 'How-To' section, but no cigar!

Title: Re: Just Finished some Footed Arrows for a Friend.
Post by: DesertDude on December 21, 2009, 09:53:00 AM

The footings are cocobolo and bubinga, These are some of the finest cedars that I have found. The again GBFS/Kye.....
