Here is an old King quiver with some Ben Pearson arrows in it.  There are subtle differences in the arrows.  Some have white nocks and darker blue paint-those are my copies to use in my Pearson Bushmaster TD.

 

 

I even used old Pearson nocks that I took from some broken arrows I got when buying bunches of arrows.

 

The paint is off a bit, the feathers are a bit taller, and the shafts are douglas fir from Surewood, not POC.

 

Oh, and I didn't even try to add the Pearson logo.

Nice, reminds me of my days of earning a living building wood arrows.  Well, part of a living...

I'll see about posting some pics.

This post is like reading an "Archery" magazine from the 1950's.

Good idea Rob!

Thanks to you Rob,  your how-to guide got me to finally make some arrows of my own. My father and I made our first 5 last weekend. Had some fun and put a "twist" of our own on them      :p    .

Made the knife only. Bought arrows from another TG'er. Too nice to shoot.

Lot of great looking arrows here, from the functional hunting arrow to the "just too purdy to shoot" arrow.  Nothing against the manmade shafts, but it doesn't get any better than wood!!!  You can stain 'em, paint 'em, put designs on 'em-making them truly as custom as you want.
