Title: Arrow building
Post by: Flying636 on June 06, 2019, 08:20:49 AM
Hope ya'll like "pretty" arrows and pics  :archer2:

These old stock Trebark  2117's were bought off fleabay rather cheap. Full length,raw shafts.I crested and fletched them,got 4 Bitzenburgers. All 4 of my grown sons and a cpl Gbabies shoot trad bows so consequently we go through some arrows. I looked (searched) for an arrow thread and didn't see one?..... was going to put this in the Virginia sub forum but figured put it up here.

Those are sweet. I'd like to find a dozen of those. I remember shooting them back in the early 90's. Nice job.

More arrows and pics,got these done last night ......

Snagged a dz "beater" Easton 2117's at the Baltimore big shoot a month ago. These are for #3(son) for practice and 3D. He shoots a 52# Satori. Background...1945,kinda rare,"full base" Walker Turner almost mint,radial drillpress. It's in our machine shop. Another W/T albeit,power feed '49 1200 is in the cabinet shop. Got a whole shop full of classic "arn". Combing two great passions,trad bows and "trad" equipment. Headed to #3's house this weekend(N.C.) for some serious target slammin.

More arrow and machine pics.....

Woodys are for #2 son to shoot out of his Dorado....problem is,I might keep them? Just sayin,when somebody else is buying arrows and uhhh,we get to shoot them well,nevermind...haha.

'49 power downfeed W/T 1200 drillpress.... sporting a Heinrich 8" "quickvise". And for you bowyers,check the "camlock" and muffler clamp holding the vac hose. These camlocks are from bicycle seat stems,off Ebay on the cheap. The muffler clamp(forget the size) is the bees knees for holding onto shop vac hoses..... probably one of my better discoveries.

Hit the camlock,and just like the Heinrich..... it "opens" with a flick.......

In this scenario, you can adjust in 2 axis.... literally faster than it takes to type out a message.
