Take Down Arrow......Pics

[joe skipp]

This PO Cedar was sent to me back in the early 80's. This arrowsmith produced quite a few of these for Mtn Lion hunting, kept them in his backpack. Thought it would neat to show it off..

Joe;

Back in the 80's or early 90's didn't someone also produce some aluminum takedown arrows? Seems like i remember seeing them in maybe a Screaming Eagle Catalog?

Also, how does the two halves join, with a ferrule, as in a fishing rod?

Thanks

I think TBM, or maybe it was Primitive Archer had an article on how to make those a few years ago. I have also made them with aluminum arrows, very simple. Just cut them in half, and sleeve the inside of one piece with a piece of smaller arrow that's a snug fit. I think I used 2117 shafts with 2018's for the connecting sleeve. Could be handy on a cat hunt or for packing on a fly in trip.

Neat idea

Now thats cool. Seems like it would be perfect for any trip...

[Bowspirit]

How cool is that...I mean, I've seen takedown aluminums, but never a takedown woodie. Seems easy enough to do, just never thought of it...

[Ryan O'Sullivan]

might be a good way to repair some arrows as well. Take half of one and splice it to half another one. lol...

Where did you get that shooting glove? I can't find a decent deerskin glove that has a texture like that. The deer skin gloves I order from the big suppliers are really crappy. They are so thin
they offer now protection and the leather texture is kinda gummy or waxy resulting in the leather on the tips having too much friction on the string and sometimes wearing in just a dozen shots.

Just make sure you put the break off center or it will mess with the spine something fierce.  The arrow gets a little stiff at the joint and if that is dead center - well you can see the problems.  

Nice looking arrow.

Hmmmm Hmmmmm, I'm going to Bob Burtons tomorrow got to ask him about them. If anyone can build them he can.Would go great with a takedown bow. Frank

I would like to see them but the picture doesn't show for me, hey, what's up with that?

I recall Bob B. had some at one of the past PBS gatherings.

This sounds perfect for Van Tx.

for aluminum arrows all one would have to do is cut it in half and put a insert in one side then put a threded insert in the other side. ive thought about making some like that just for the hell of it...

[Steve Kendrot]

I've gott gloves that look just like that one from Cabela's in the past....

[Walt Francis]

I seen some pictures of Bob's that I believe were from the early 60's once, just can't remember when or where.

Neat! But heck you don't need some fancey arrowsmith for this...I make my arrows into to halves all the time...In fact it's why I often have to make more!
