12 becomes 11 (cringe)

Well, my first wood arrows.  Nice tapered shafts from Bob Walker, footed them for length with Reparows, some nice OneStringer wraps, points and feathers from The Nocking Point..... a little time and effort.

Then this!!!!!!!!

A full Dz never last long....That first one always hurts....

That is repairable! Gring a long bevel to the damages area and match the bevel with another piece of shaft. Glue and wrap the splice, retaper for a nock and you are good to go. I have used this repair on a few arrows(some with reinforced self nocks)and never had one fail.    
  Good shooting BTW.     Pat

"Remember, arrows are expendable ammo." Just like yesterday when I sacaficed a $10 arrow to the Gods.

Hey Bob,

When a guy shoots as well as you do, he's gotta expect to damage an arrow from time to time!!!

That's why I build 14-16 arrow dozens. Hap

Nice goin' Bob!

Hey, what spine did you end up with?

Eric:

They are 85-89 with 145g points + walnut reparows on the tip.  Total arrow weight is 825+/-.  They may still be a touch stiff, and I want to find some in the 80-84 just to see what happens.  I may try 160's on point weight to see what they do too, but I mostly just want to shoot some.

With the long draw, even the slightest imperfection is really magnified - just like my golf swing (or lack of - LOL).  But when it all comes together, man-oh-man is it a thing of beauty!

You make meat with that Shrew yet?  I still have to wait for the 19th......

5 dot targets were made for folks like you! It allows every shot you make to be "your 1st arrow".

Congratulations on mastering the bow!!

God bless,Mudd
