liams arras

[kerrille]

watching others cresting arras and buying my son a bow for his b/day i thought i'd give it a shot . after making 17 shafts breaking 3 these are all spined at 600 or 46 pound and weigh 560 to 570 grain the heads are 125grn screw in brass.







the other arras will be used for other bows.

Well done Nev! They look great.

I think it's very important to have an arrow that you can clearly see in flight, as it helps you to know when you've made a slight mistake immediately, or alternatively, you can see straight away that you've done everything right. A good bright arrow allows you to watch the trajectory of the arrow, which in turn allows you to eventually memorise the trajectory for all future shots. A bright arrow is also heaps easier to find in long grass, etc.

A bright, easy to see arrow is also very desirable when hunting, as you will be able to 'call your shots' with much more accuracy, helping you to decide whether or not you've got a wounded (hopefully shortly to become mortally wounded) animal on your hands or not.

Not only that mate, they actually looks fantastic as well.

Great work Nev! Is it my eyes or are they tapered a bit toward the point?

[kerrille]

yes mate they are cos i make my own shafts and having to get such a lite spine to what i usualy have i divide the shaft into 3 = parts and plane down a 1/3 at a time until i get it . i normaly cut my timber into 10mm squares and then work from there.
