Title: I was surprised and amazed!!
Post by: Mudd on May 14, 2010, 05:57:00 PM
I got a package in the mail today that was totally unexpected. Rod Jenkins sent me 4 wonderfully made cane/bamboo self arrows. They are fletched with what looks to be wild turkey feathers, have self nocks and some of the coolest homemade field tips I've ever seen.

I'll try to get some pictures up of them as soon as possible.

Thank you Rod! If I need to send you anything for them please let me know.

God bless,Mudd

PS Somebody else know just how much I hate making arrows...lol

I'm worrying that I made a trade or something for them and just not remembering it. I pray I'm not having a "Doh!" moment.

I would hate it if that were the case.

God bless,Mudd

I took them out back and shot them out of an appropriate bow for them. It's one of my favorites that I don't get to shoot nearly enough but I can't help it. It's a Bamboo backed hickory 72" n-t-n and 55@28. I wish it didn't wear my shoulder out so quick but unfortunately that's not the case. In fact I think you're going to see a couple of my higher end favorites on the board soon. I want to shoot as long as I possibly can and if that means going down more in weight then so be it.

Looks like I'm not very observant either..lol they are fletched with two turkey and one goose.

I think they are crooked, Mudd. Better send them on up to Iowa so I can properly dispose of them!

Ahh,   :D    :D  
80 grains of metal with those screw in field points might give me better FOC.  :goldtooth:    :biglaugh:    :laughing:

They are double headed nails with the top head ground off to a point. The entire nail is hot melt glued into the shaft.

Bowferd thanks for taking the chain yanking so good naturedly.

God bless,Mudd
