Poplar Poplar Poplar

Yeah he picked them up today.

steadman · March 29, 2012, 11:10:00 PM

Matt, you get some 80-85's in and set a dozen shafts aside for me

Ari · March 29, 2012, 11:24:00 PM

If you end up getting more stock I'd be interested in trying some lower spines sometime in the future.

Hey Ryan you will like these shafts. They are really durable and after I put on three poly coats they have a unique look to them. I do have a little trouble reading the grain on them but I hope to get better at that as I make more of them into arrows. I have made four into arrows so far. Hey magnus they are holding up really good. I sent one into a wheelbarrow by mistake and its no worse for the wear.

Ryan and Ari we're hoping to get some higher and lower spines in the near future. Each batch of wood yields what it yields. I will post in the classifieds when I get them.

Helo I'm not sure wheelbarrow's are in season yet.

This photo doesn't do these justice. I will post some more pics on Trad History and Collecting of this set up when we have some better weather.

I am transitioning to LH, and have really taken to this bow - a mid 1970's Super Grizzly. I decided it deserved some matching arras.

Matt did a splendid job. The poplar really does come out with a unique look when stained. They shoot great.

Spined between 50-54#, 29.5" BOP, 125gr pt, 580gr total. Bow is 45#. I shoot around 27-28" draw.

Now, if I could only shoot as well as they do....

My occaisional miss also testifies that these arrows and Matt's finish are tough as nails.

Matt here in UT wheelbarrows are open year round, I'm just curious if he has his wheelbarrow special draw tag.

But man they are tough

I will keep checking the classifieds. Thanks!

Wheelbarrows are an open season item in Texas. But there's a part of that law that says something about the operator of said wheelbarrow being an endangered species so I hold off on the running shots.

Are these feathers the low profile banana??? Very nice looking arrows.

wooddamon1 · March 30, 2012, 11:33:00 AM

Nice arrows! I might have to try some of that stuff...

Doc Nock · March 30, 2012, 11:36:00 AM

Steadmen,

Maybe if you soak those 60# in some of that stuff we see on TV, it'll give higher spines?

magnus · March 30, 2012, 11:56:00 AM

I got you on the list Ryan.

Germandog those are 4x4.25 banana cut

59Alaskan · March 30, 2012, 02:07:00 PM

It took me a while to warm up to the banana cut but I really like these arrows and they are whisper quiet.

German Dog · March 30, 2012, 08:02:00 PM

Thanks for the reply, Magnus.

Banana cuts are my favorite. I modified mine to cut 5 1/4 instead of the 5.5"

however, i got some tradtional cut feathers from magnus that are just waiting to be put on some arrows

magnus · March 31, 2012, 07:09:00 AM

I can chop just about any size banana you want. I have a few of the choppers modified for different lengths and heights.

March 31, 2012, 11:24:00 AM

Hi Matt,
I would be interested in trying out a set with the 4x4.25 banana cut on poplars. How do I go about ordering some?
Thanks, Scott
