you got hog arrows?

Rob DiStefano · July 08, 2011, 08:40:00 AM

just fletched up a dozen surewoods for hogs (well, for deer too, i s'pose) - "coral snake hog arrows"

w/tusker concorde 190's on the business ends, footed the fronts with epoxied 1/8" bamboo, total weight averages 595 grains.

Very nice

Any hog would be proud to have one of them as a gift

Good looking arrows ya got there. They will do the job.

Lookin' good as always Rob! I like your choice of BH too. Those arrows will definitely ruin Ms. Piggy's day.

RED AND YELLOW, kill a fellow or swine don't matter
i'd put a 160 ace up front, but them will do. lol

Rob,
Your arrows are real beauties but let me share a tip a fella shared with me. Get a yellow sharpie and make the edge of your feather yellow too! (the quill part that's white now). Just made mine look a little better after I started doing it.

yep, done that with a sharpie. scraping the burn off with a razor blade works best for me, but i kinda like the darkened edges on these yeller bars.

Nice looking arrows there Rob.

I'm putting together a dozen Douglas fir arrows right now for the same reason. I'm calling them "Motorcity Macheties". I'll post pics when they are done.

Sweet Mr Rob .....
They look like they are made for business . Douglas fir as hog arrow material is just perfect ... none too heavy ... none too light ... just right!

wtpops · July 08, 2011, 09:59:00 AM

Nice, those things look like they will slip right through a hog and not even slow down.

Looks good Rob,I like the combo of colors You say footed with Bamboo,do you mean you drilled them out and stuck the boo inside? Does that add good strength?
CTT

yep, drilled out the front ends and epoxied in 2" lengths of 1/8" bamboo bbq skewer. it do help lots with point break offs.

Every arrow looks better with a little red on it.

Terry Green · July 08, 2011, 01:23:00 PM

Nice!

Claym · July 08, 2011, 01:30:00 PM

Cool! I like the bamboo footing idea

Stumpknocker · July 08, 2011, 01:41:00 PM

Those look great!

Wannabe1 · July 08, 2011, 01:45:00 PM

Great looking arrows Rob! Good luck using them and may they all fly straight and true. :D

jcar315 · July 08, 2011, 01:59:00 PM

Always enjoy your arrow building posts Rob. Great lookers and looking forward to seeing a few of them "turn red" after they have been used.

Recurve50 LBS · July 08, 2011, 04:03:00 PM

Very nice looking arrows Rob

Arwin · July 08, 2011, 04:10:00 PM
