99 arrows to fletch.  Take one down, fletch it around, 98 arrows to fletch on the wall...

1/4" arrows for the youngins at the Michigan Longbow Association's Spring Shoot.

I'm sure it will be a nice bouquet when it's complete.

:thumbsup:

Got a long monotonous task ahead of you! Good this it's not too difficult. I can't imagine how glued up your fingers will be (unless you're using fletching tape), haha.

All in all it's worth it for the youngins!

Have fun!

Mike, if they are all straight and sealed that's the tough part. I always look forward to the fletching....of course I'm not doing 99 at a time! I'm sure the kids will love them.

Yes, but just imagine those little smiles when they shoot your arrows.

Stay tuned for what the Michigan Longbow Association has in store for these, and there are also the same amount getting done up in 5/16" for the bigger kids.  One thing we know how to do and that is have Fun.

Mike I have a bunch of end pieces both RW and LW in a bag that I have left over from making feather rests and fletching arrows.  Some pretty good stuff and some not so good. A lot of natural barred and dyed natural barred.

If you want it for the project I'll ship it to you.

I do appreciate the offer, but have enough for now.  I'm sure someone out there can use them.  Maybe there is a State Organization willing to make up arrows for the kids in their State.  

There is nothing better then seeing a smile on a kids face.  Here is my 7 yr old last weekend down in Gatlinburg, TN.  The smile says it all.

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.
