Fletcher told me that woodies, unlike other arrows, have a spirit. I can't help but get the feeling that he is right.

Nice job!

You and Fletcher are correct... there's something special going on with natural wooden arrows.

Thanks for sharing.

God bless,Mudd

You know I actually have no idea! I was at a friend's house while making these.

Thanks for taking a look guys.

Fletch2, I definitely intend to send one through a turkey!

They look pretty good.  More importantly, they have some of your spirit in them, too.

Those arrows look all business.  Beautiful, but ready to go to work for you and get the job done.  Great Job!!!  I'm only recently discovering wood arrows and am loving the epiphany.

Hey!  That quiver looks familiar!  Those arrows accent it nicely.  Good luck against those turkey's.

Ya I love the quiver! Have gotten a lot of compliments on the antler stud and arrowhead inlay. Good doing business with you sir!

And I must mention that Dan Mathis was the one who showed me his ways of arrow crafting.

Love that simple look. thanks for all the comments guys. i wanna make another dozen!
