Finding that "ONE" arrow

[Vesty]

I'm starting the process of diligently shooting and tweaking my wood arrows until I narrow it down to that one special arrow that will sit on the string of my N.M.Classic on opening day of deer season. The thing I love about wood arrows is their individuality because they are a natural material. When you find that one arrow that seems to stand out from all the others, you gain a level of confidence when it is being drawn back at the moment of truth. Last year it was a 468gn. port orford cedar tipped with a 125gn. Magnus 1. It was my first time out and my first shot opportunity. Doe down in less than 50yds.

I know what u mean about havin that one great wood arrow. My last one was a 5/16 poc 40/45 spine. I cut it 29" and put a 125 grain judo point on and spray painted it red with tractor enamel.  

Always had confidence the bunny was going to have a bad day when I pulled that one out of the quiver.

......Then one day it broke

I try to not get to attached to my arrows .
Cause it's just a matter of time before they are gone .

I don't place all my eggs in one basket so to speak.  I try to build my woodies so any one of them will serve as my no. 1 arrow because any one of them often does. I have complete confidence in all of them or they don't go in my quiver, even my blunt tipped practice arrow.

I am partial to Sweetland forge woods though.  I've collected quite a few over the years.  Straightness, spine and weight are very consistent.
