just thought i'd share some pics of a set of arrows i just finished. i've been putting off fletching these for about 2 months so i pulled my finger out and spent 5 hours yesterday putting feathers on them. another 2 hrs this morning finishing them with melted bees wax. don't ask me how many hours total it has taken me from go to woe. i don't want to know.
just looking forward to the fruits of thy labour now.
the white point in the middle i made myself. it will be a special moment when it does it's job!
the 2 points at the bottom i'm saving for a scrub bull.
the point in the bottom left is a buffalo testing survivor. i just had to reknapp the broken tip and give it a new shaft of lighter spine. it's a point that woody blackwell gave me.
the others points were given to me by bill skinner. the turkey feathers were given to me by northerncaliforniahunter. the shafts are surewoods. thank you guys.

Wow Clint, those look great !!!
I would love to see the game you harvest with them :)
:clapper:
hey i thought u gave up hunting? :knothead:
not that im trying to descourage you or anything.well if you do shoot buff with those i hope its a quartering awayand slip into the vitals behind the ribs not into the ribs . i love trad but i like modern materials.that are proven to perform.anyway please let us know how it goes we r rooting for you to suceed nomatter what what u decide. :archer:
i'm not going to shoot a buffalo with any of these arrows. these are for goats, pigs, deer and a scrub bull.
but i'll have to get ontop of the target panic before i go drawing back an arrow that has taken so much work to make. i'm getting better.
:thumbsup:
good for you bro.everything worth doin ,is worth working for. we'd love to here about your victory's and advice as to how you suceed. i have no doubt you will.if you ever find you way to arizona maby for a elk hunt let me know we will shoot together.
SWEEEEET!
Looks great how do they fly?
Jer Bear
i'll test them soon. they should fly good as i tuned the shafts with matching weight field points.
Clint we must be the only ones up....you are about 5 pm right and we are 11 pm
Cheers mate
those look awesome nice work clint
i just tested them. they fly great.
let the hunting begin!
Super nice work Clint. :thumbsup:
Can't wait to see the pics of the animals you take with them.They look great.
Beautiful.Is that pine pitch you stuck em on with? And is that genuine sinew? Whatever it is theyre awesome!
yep it's pine pitch i made myself. pine resin, finely ground charcoal and manure with some beeswax to make it less brittle.
the sinew i harvested myself from a kangaroos tail. as you can imagine kangaroo tail sinew is nice and long. it's great stuff! i'm going to make a selfbow one day and the string will be sinew. i want to take a primitive deer oneday.
My goodnes man, how do you get your points to weigh all exactly alike? How do you get your EFOC up there? How do you get within .003" tolerance on those wood shafts? How do you TUNE those things??????
Just kidding, they are beautiful and my hat's off to you (I shoot wood but not primative).
Nice!!! :thumbsup:
great job :thumbsup:
I like it, like it!! :thumbsup:
Beauties, I wish I could use stone here in WY.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Looking forward to the pics when those do their job!
very nice
Super looking arrows, good luck with them.
Awesome arrows!
Stone points have done the job for ten thousand years, and the hits just keep on coming! Making those arrows is quite a meditation on hunting. Good on ya, you should be very proud indeed of your handiwork. You have a lot of good folks behind you.

Clint, those are some great looking arrows, good luck with them. After looking at what you can do making those nice arrows, if you tell me you plan to use a kangaroo tail to make a bow string, I believe you! :clapper:
They all look great but that gray one at 2:00 oclock in your first pic grabs my eye... ;)
