An Arrow Tribute..."so many ARROWS, so little time?"

[Little Tree]

All these years putting all my energy into Selfbow-making, and just making arrows that, well, just do the job. Well, things are starting to come full circle for me now with a new passion to construct some nice arrows. This particular arrow was made from a cane shaft gifted to me by Michael Brooks..(thanks bud), and a beautiful point by knapper John Kiernan from TX. (Even though he wants all to know that this is only his "C" work!!) WOW, I hope someday I will be able to match his "D" or even "E" work.
Arrow stats are as follows.
Buffalo horn nock
Raw Texas Chert point/sinew haft
N.C. river cane shaft
India Ink stain and Tru-Oil finish
Wild Turkey RW High-backed shields
Snowshoe Hare tracer
510 grains
50 spine
Can't wait to draw blood with it!
Hope you enjoy

Wow, beautiful work of art, we need a "drooling on the keyboard graemlin"

[TimZeigler]

Very, very nice. I'd proudly shoot that piece of artwork any day.

Very nice job, Brad. Don't know how I missed this but I am glad Mike (Brooks) directed me too it. I would hate to have not seen it. Working on some (both Canes and Ramins) myself, in lighter spine, and wish I had the patience to make them that nice. Hopefully they'll at least be shootable (and, later on, death-dealing, if the opportunity arises - LOL). I plan to use them primarily with my (first) Wood Lam bow (the one that Mike helped me with) but also my other wood bows. I use tracers on mine too.

Man, that's freakin' awesome.

[4runr]

Beautiful!!!!!

[sticshooter]

Brad that is a great arra right there. Ya done a outstanding job with all that was given and done them proud.<><

[MWhitehair]

Stunning...

[Matt Fowler]

Excellent!! How do you put the "tracer" on? Any effect on flight or speed?

[Little Tree]

Thanks guys....Matt, the tracer is very light and thin hide. Just a 1/4 wide strip cut and glued on with some instant fletching glue. Does not effect flight, and really stands out in low-light conditions.

[ber643]

I'll vouch for that on the tracers - I love 'em.

[AnointedArcher]

That is one beautiful arrow!  

[Izzy]

Nice.Hope you dont miss with that.Itd be a shame to loose or break that but I guess thats what theyre for.

[Arrowslinger]

[kiiwosewinini]
