I have been wanting to go back to hunting with wood arrows for my Hill Longbows for a while now.
I will probably keep shooting our challenging 3D courses with carbon arrows but I want wood to hunt, especially with the longbows.
After figuring out what it cost to build my last dozen myself I decided to let David at Wilderness Custom Arrows do the work this time. Plus I wanted to try the Surewood Fir shafts and while my wood arrows were perfectly functional, they have never been pretty.
They arrived today and I put field points on a few and Woodsmen on the rest and went to the backyard to give them a try.
I guess I have never shot really good wood arrows before because my first three arrows at 15 yards had the feathers snuggled up next to each other in my 3D deer target.
They are not only great to look at, they fly just great too.
Almost too pretty to run through a deer or pig but hopefully that is where they will be going.
Thanks Wilderness! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/frankt/Archery/WildernessCustomArrows.jpg)
David does some amazing work! Yep there's nothing better than a good wood arrow.
He sure makes some pretty arrows.
Those are beautiful. Congrats on you shooting some wood arrows again and Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Oh Yea. Got Wilderness arrows in my quiver now and some more on the way.RC
Yuup, those will look even better all bloody. Beautiful arrows you got there.
Frank, nice picture. I like the weathered wood backdrop! So happy to hear they are flying good for you.
RC, yours are coming along...shouldn't be long now.
David
Snag does it again!
Beautiful. He'll make a wood arrow believer out of anyone. Those Surewoods are something else.

Oh Heck, That reminds me I definitely need to restain the deck between hunting seasons.
Nice!
Come on Mail lady!
Those are great looking arrows. That's fine work.
David does excellent work! I also have some of his fine arrows ready to go for turkey and bear this spring.
Frank, I like the contrast of the weathered wood and the new painted wood! :biglaugh:
Very nice! :thumbsup: :notworthy:
Sweet arrows as always from Dave...
David makes World Class Arrows. I will be shooting his arrows in all my Long bow competitions.
Hi Don, thanks for allowing me to serve you! Go get 'em!
Dang!!! David you make some pretty Arrows :)
:campfire:
Like woodies to with long bows that are not cut to center. Just seem to be more on the mark. My only problem with wood arrows is they are hard to repair. Most of my target practice I use aluminum. Much easier to fix. Some times I just redo the hole set.

Nice arras!
Snag is about to get another order from Washington state....
Enjoy the arch in your archery!
Shoot straight, Shinken

Love wood. These are very 'purdy'too.
Thanks David. The "Special" Arrows you made for me are probably the finest arrows I have shot in my nearly 50 years in archery. The attention to detail is amazing.God Bless
Very nice!
GREAT looking arrows :thumbsup: David's work is awesome :archer2:
Yup David is an arrow pimp for sure, great talent. Shoot them well.
