  • This is a short cimematic film on custom cresting, airbrushing, and arrow building.This is something I still do with all my arrows. It gives them character and makes them very unique. Old school arrow building is a lost art and I enjoy continuing the heritage and legacy.... I hope you enjoy it. This is 100% self filmed start to finish on a tripod, motion slider, and some creative one handed balancing acts.

    Amen brother. I take pride in customizing my arrows. I like knowing that no one has arrows like mine. More or less personalizing them. Keep on.

    I like the subtle accents of filming.. the taking of the apron off,,,the taking of the glasses off,,,,,the plugging in of the plug,,,the panning in and the soft guitar music made me feel a golfers shot on a dew laiden green,, the kerplunk of a well placed fishermans bobber, the first sniff of a well brewed wine..etc..etc..

    Thank you for your video.
    7 month ago I watched it for the first time and it was the reason why I started to custom build my arrows.
    At the tournament my wife and myself were the only ones with colorful, hand-crested arrows.
    It was very satisfying for me.

    I always wanted to get into this. A local shop sold crested arrows but nothing more than white paint. They still looked very classy on a quiver. Thanks for sharing your video, reminds me I should get back to past hobbies and the ones I didn't quite get into.

  • @longbow8115
    @longbow8115 Před 10 lety

    Great video, but let me caution folks who might be new to this. I crown dip and crest all of my arrows. Years ago, the day before I had a shoot I prepped aluminums with the new super uni system. Being in a rush I didn't plug the nock end. The next day I dry fired close 6-8 arrows. I pulled out the nocks and replaced with new ones and would wait for a click to alert me of a potential dry fire. Called Bohning and confirmed what I thought, I hadn't gotten the vapors out of the shaft and the vapors were reacting with the plastic nocks. Always, always plug the nock end before dipping-- a dowel will work just fine...

    Extremely entertaining! The production could be no better than this. I have a new respect for the art of arrow building. The craftsmanship, the camera work and the music all come together to present a short which I had to watch several times to take everything in. I'll probably watch this many more times in the future.

  • @fakiirification
    @fakiirification Před 10 lety +6

    this was actually a fascinating video. i craft my own wooden arrows for my traditional recurve and long bows, but it never occurred to me to customize my carbon shafts for my compound... the mechanical precision of the compound bow sort of lacks the inspiration for "made by hand" accessories that the traditional gear has.
    Thanks to you, my set of arrows for next season will be custom built. cheers!
    btw, can you link the songs used in this video in the description? very good tunes, very relaxing.

  • @chinaibm
    @chinaibm Před 9 lety +37

    Good video. However, with all due respect, wouldn't "the forgotten art" be like making traditional wooden arrows rather than by using all the tools and products you use? These arrows seem to resemble the arrows you can buy in stores so how would this be a "forgotten art"?

    @jamessilva8268 Před 7 lety

    Thought this was going to be a cool video on how to do them cheap and easily. Then I saw your finished work and thought, "I wouldn't want anything less than that quality!" Watched the full video, yeah, I'll stick with the wraps because that takes talent.
    However, I wonder if that white stuff he dips the arrow into is heavy, and affects the weight. It sure looks thick.

  • @joohop
    @joohop Před 10 lety

    nice work brother how much is 1 of them arrows ?

  • @clenzyson
    @clenzyson Před 10 lety

    He could have saved a lot of time by just buying some arrow wraps, and having them cut at the store where he bought the arrows. Plus if he's shooting groups of threes.... why do it with broadheads on the arrows. He could cut the fletching and all that work will be for nothing. Buy some NAP Quick Fletch and save some time.

    • @gonewildoutdoors1
      @gonewildoutdoors1  Před 8 lety +2

      I enjoy making these arrows, and coming up with colors others don't have. I don't like wraps. If I cut the vanes (which I do) I just put them in a pile for the next batch I make. I don't worry about supply, I shoot what I hunt with. Thanks for watching.
