Ode to Wood Arrows

Beautiful arrows, wish I needed some, but I probably have a lifetime supply already.

The more I look the more I am gonna have to get some wood shafts and give it a try.

Nothing like a back quiver with some good looking wood arrows in it.

I may shoot pretty plain wood arrows but that does not mean I cannot appreciate great handcrafted arrows when I see them...those take my breath away

I shoot nothing but woodies. I used to make my own arrows as well as bows, but being a bi-vo pastor I find very little time to hunt much less make any of my own stuff these days. I have a couple dozen Snag made up for me last year. They are beautiful. For those who have never shot a good heavy wood shaft you have never experienced absolute quiet arrow launching.

Very nice!

I find it much more satisfying going into the woods with arrows that have some of me built into them. I make my own woodies.

And I stump shoot and small game hunt with the same arrows I deer hunt and target shoot with.

Never understood the logic of using crummy arrows for bunny hunting. I want to hit the bunny - not mess around. These are all tapered from 11/32" to 5/16" at the nock.

My bowhunting mentor chastized me for using a "bunny" arrow at a 3-D shoot for a small target behind rocks. He said: "Use your best arrow and your focus will be sharper. If you use a crummy arrow that means you expect a crummy result". Or something close to that.

My much missed 6 foot, 280 pound Yoda.

Well I do not get very artsy with my arrows, they are a nice color and I am insanely fussy when I build them. Even with which feathers go with a set, some feather are flimsy and some are tougher, I do not mix them into a set. I do like to admire the fancy work of others though. Even broken a cedar arrow has it own beauty. I shattered one at a shoot, a high nerve close to the trees shot. We waited to let the guys behind us shoot, before the arrow search began. One commented while he was looking for his carbons, how my arrow broke. I gave him a piece and said "smell it". After the shoot he was walking around looking at the vendor tables, still sniffing that chunk and offering a sniff to others.
