Here are the results of these 10.  I had one that came in light and that will get used for more testing.  Here are the six with the broad heads that Matt G sent me.  If you look at the weights on these six, there is a spread of 46 grains high to low


The other heads that I had laying around, I ended up with one light and three good with a spread of 37 grains high to low.

Here is the ten waiting to get a finish put on, and fletched up.  I should get another 20 to 30 grains with that.

Wow.  I've got a lot to learn.

Thanks everyone.  I have been very very fortunate to have learned from the master of cane arrows along with some other great teachers..  And I assure you, there is no one to come close to his arrows.  This is not saying that there are not other great arrow made everyone, it is just the attention to detail and being able to make any combination to work, is unmatched form his arrow work.  If you ever get to see one or some of Art. Butners arrows, you will know immediately.

All I can say is those are the most impressive set of arrows I have ever seen, bar none!! Way to cool, that is truly an art form!! Thanks for the post, very cool!! Shawn

Those are some nice arrows String'.  Nice attention to detail.  I've been shooting my 780g poplar warbow arrows out of the 71# static recurve I just got with some STOS broadheads attached and they are flying like accurized freight trains.  I have trouble pulling them out of the bag target shot from 20 yds, and I'm a 6'2'' 250 firefighter.  I've got the same purpose in mind for mine.  This is what those hogs deserve.  Good luck with the piggies, you've certainly got me curious about cane  

Thanks again for the kind words.  Cane is not only fun to work with, but very rewarding in the end when it all comes together.

I just got around to doing a test on the FOC on the heavy cane arrows.  They come in at 23.9130434783 FOC.  That is a little extreme for a tapered arrow.  So I am going to work with some other point weights and lengths to get what I want and call them done.

Strigstretcher, Man are you ever committed   :  :thumbsup:I like your ideas    Keep up the good work.

Well everyone, sometimes what we think will work and does, does not always come together.  I could not get the cane to show weak enough to shoot them out of the one osage self bow I was shooting.  So this morning, having not having any thing else to make the up front weights higher, I started looking again through my old stuff.  Awh...found a couple dozen of my old 2213 glue in broad head adapters....I just wonder?????

Well if you start with these
 
And you add some lead
 
And then some fire
 

You will get these



The good thing about these is you can remove weight or add weight with the lead to get what you want.  These adapters weigh exactl 205 grains with a 145 grain point for a total of 350 up front.  And here are the high and lows of 4 arrows.

Well everyone these are finished and ready to be shot at anything I feel like for the most part.  They would not work out of my osage self bow that I was trying to make these for, but I went and got an osage/fiberglass bow I had made a couple years ago, same poundage and draw length, and these things shot so nice.  This bow does have fast flight on it so that helps as well to weaken the shaft.  As a matter of fact, I first had the 160 grain points on there for a total of 365 up front and they were too weak for this bow.  I changed them to the 145 and bingo.  I now have four cane that are EFOC and weigh a lot, to hunt with.

I thank everyone for the comments and suggestions along this journey.  Just remember, if you really want to, you can do the very same things with materials that mother nature provided with a little help, as you can with other products.  Have fun, and shoot em straight.

I guess they are ok. What's wrapped around the shaft behind the broad head, masking tape to hold em together ole boy..  

Actually yes there you ole coot you.  I use the masking tape on the ends so they don't split when I drill them.  And the black looking stuff is shrink wrap that I put over the real sinew to keep some moisture out and help protect the ends behind the broad head as well.

Oh, so you are making a real high tech primitive arrow then?:)LMAO Ole Boy.. Very nice though, but I have a feeling that shrink wrap is gonna hold moisture under there....

That is very possible.  It was just a thought and something to try.  I was thinking more along the lines of protecting the sinew from long wet rainy days.  But hey, most of the time, I am inside on those kind of days....aren't we?????..LOL

And these Roy, are way beyond high tech.  No one in their right mind could engineer something like these...lol

Someone's gonna have a bad day

17 yard shot with one warm up round.  I think I got them

Ya still have my address ole timer?
