Does anyone know of a book or DVD that shows how to make footed shaft arrows ??  I am not that bright and need something pretty detailed.

Hey!

I'm with you.....I'd buy a good video!

We could also do this with a magazine article or website post ... clear explanation and good photos are all we need, and I need them too!

Here's a couple of websites I found showing how to make footed shafts. I must say, it looks like a lot of work.

I'm 1/2 aways through a "Foot-a-long" and have some clear photos as well as good clear explanations of the method I use. Stay tuned for the thread...

ak.

WOW what incredible timing--I just spent the weekend at the Colorado Traditional Archers Society Banquet, with Gary Renfro and he told me he is almost done with a DVD, on not only making footed shafts but tapering, finishing, feather splicing, the whole ball of wax from start to finish, and the equipment he has made.

Gary is a custom cabinet maker, and has a system that produces world class arrows, they are truley a work of art,
He thinks the DVD should be available within the coming year, looking foward to it!

i would love to see that happen.  The DVDs out there despite what they say are just too basic.  would love to see one of the great arrow makers like arrow art or any others do this.  maybe they haven't because of trade secretes or something but i think if people want to make their own the will so they might as well sell the detailed dvd.

Well it's been almost a year Renfro where is it?

you can go on you tube and look for "HOW I MAKE ARROWS" and the stars and finshes his footed shafts
