I had some "vintage" ACME shafts that were just begging to be made into arrows...so this is what I came up with. They are 80#-85#, 11/32" tapered to 5/16".

Thanks Killdeer for the nocks! I really like the way they blend into the shaft.

Those look great!

EXCELLENT WORK right there Snag!

Your skills are becoming really advanced - the coordination between the cresting and splicing is superb.

Enjoy shooting that set!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Thanks guys. I'm working on it Shinken.

How's the arm?  Shootin' rehab or full strength?

Regardless, enjoy the journey!

Shoot straight, Shinken

The rehab is going well. I shot 24 arrows the other day. It was a little stiff and sore the next day. So I didn't pick up the bow for a few days. But it's coming along pretty good. Thanks.

Nice looking arrows, David.  Wow! You need to bring those next month so I can see them up close.

Awesome work snag ! I gots to get crackin on the Surewoods you talked me into buying but been cuttin all my firewood for next year in between the monsoons lately..... Your splice work looks great, hope mine turn out as well as yours. Good luck on the rehab, my son starts his today. Got his cast off his bow hand yesterday. No more skating with the girls !

Those look awesome. That new crester looks like it makes some perfect lines.. *I mean you make perfect lines with the new crester*
Love that color combo too. Matches my new orange cast on my leg speaking of rehab.
Too nice to shoot almost.

Good man Nocams. Got to get those chores done first!

O Okie, my mission statement is "purdier arras by all means"! Love that crester. You be a good boy and heal up so we can pack meat this fall! What a pair. One with a lame leg and one with a lame wrist....you can shoot 'em and I'll pack 'em it looks like...      

Add arrow makin' skillz to that resume Snag. Very nice.

snag,
are those butt spliced or did you get brave enough to strip the main feather ?    

nocams

Those are butt spliced. I just can't seem to get them to peel off the quill in one piece...? I don't know how others do it. When I try it it peels off for a ways and then it breaks off...?

Looks great what kind of nocks are those?

I was given some of these Mercury nocks. I really like them. I guess their quality went downhill. But these were from a time when they were of good quality.

Those look great David.

I've been cresting a bunch on the Phillips.Works great.

Beautiful!

Well Done Snag....Classic Looking

Rich, glad it is working out for you. Gets kind of under your skin, doesn't it?    

Thanks, I am going to taper those blackwood footed shafts tonight. I am already thinking of some fletchings for those... oh boy....  

They look great!  H
