Gluing inserts into place and fletching them myself is the extent of my arrow building. I commend you guys for spending the time it takes to build custom arrows and actually shooting them. Nice work.
You guys do some nice work.Mine are surewood shafts simply stained and varnished.Just one mark on them to check brace height.It still tears me up to loose or break one,I'm not sure I would risk it with those classy looking arrows
I have been making my own wood arrows for a very long time and still have not gotten really fancy work like PJG. Those are really nice! I too like sherwood tapered. I recently bought some hardwood shafts from Forester Wood Shafts...got a sample batch of 4 different hardwood. I am really excited about these as they are naturally very heavy for big game. They may be what I use for Moose in Ak this fall. Just need to turn these shafts into arrows then fling them to see what I think. Here is the Forester website if you want to check them out: Forrester Wood Shafts - Custom Hardwood Arrow Shafts.
I ordered my first dozen "Hunters" from Surewood Shafts... going to turn the first 4 into stumping arrows. Then the next I will build as needed for hunting or stumping. I'm looking forward to the journey. I feel like I did 25 years ago when I started tying flies.
