    Great video man! Nice work on the arrows. I’ve really enjoyed your videos. I just bought a recurve a few weeks ago and I’m already hooked. I was just wondering what was involved in building arrows. I might have to invest in some equipment now. Have a good one thks

    When i read the title saying traditional, i thought you finally had been taking up on my request on showing the process from wooden plank to finished wooden arrow. A little dissapointed i must say but good video anyway for those who haven't seen your early videos on how to prepare arrows :)

    Just as an aesthetic choice, can you use raven feathers? I think they'd look nice on a dark wood arrow or one painted black.

    Hi Grizzly, my name os Nacho and I'm from Spain. I would like to know your opinion about the Mohican bearpaw bow, because I want to start traditional archery and this is one of the bows that I'm thinking about buying, thank you very much.

  • @Darkendragon
    @Darkendragon Před 7 lety

    so i've been shooting at a community center that uses a net to catch any arrows that miss the target butts, but my arrows are thin enough that it can actually get through the netting. when I saw your tip on adding "fletching cement" to the tip of the feathers to help it, I thought it was ingenious but I wanted to ask what kind of glue that was? we dont have many archery supply stores where I live and wondering if it might be something I can pick up somewhere else. I do have fletching glue that I got a while ago which seems to be very very similar to crazy glue. but when I tried this trick out with this, it kind of evaporated and didnt really leave much behind, im still worried that the feather might still catch and might get stripped.

  • @sprk11
    @sprk11 Před 7 lety

    awesome little vid. I haven't tried the paint pens yet, I also sign my arrows up by the fletchings with the wieght of the spine ( mostly shooting woods) and the grain of the point. Once again like you said we all do something a little different. Just did up some carbons for my wife this morning. Thanks again for your videos they are great reference material for when I go back to doing stuff I don't do that often. Quick question though, when you are bare shafting your arrows how far back from the target do you stand and can a weak arrow wobble so much that when it hits the target that it looks stiff?

    Hi Jim, this ultimate tool to "rotate" arrows is your homemade or you bought it? I want one but I cant find anything similar.
    Thank you very much and keep doing what you do! Me and other members of Bow Brothers from Czech Republic are your huge fans ;)

      I have a metallic one. The name of this "machine" in english is "Fletching Jig". You can find a lot on the internet.

    I am new to Archery and I was wondering if you could explain the odd feather in the fetching and how and why it is set on the arrow?

    • @Enumidar
      @Enumidar Před 7 lety

      The different colored one? It's there to make sure you have the arrow correctly on the string. You want the odd one close to you.
      Its the same type of feather, its just differently colored.

    • @halifzent2686
      @halifzent2686 Před 4 lety

      odd colored one should be set out of the bow.
      It is set to avoid friction between the fletching ang bow.

  • @thethinkingman9338
    @thethinkingman9338 Před 14 dny

    Traditional arrow making…Hmmm - carbon shaft, spray paint, chinese made fletching, adhesive tape, sandpaper, a spining jig….say no more. somehow i don’t think this is how the Comanche Indians made arrows. and it was their primary survival weapon and war weapon. nothing traditional about these arrows my friend.
