I finished my arrows yesterday evening. As always, a big shout out to my painter, wife, and best friend, Leah Haverstick. It's always fun doing a project with her!

This is a lengthy process for us. I started out with some bare mahogany shafts that I got from the best guy in the business, Kevin Forrester. I put the point and nock tapers on them and then flame crested the shafts with some brass templates and a butane torch. After that, I stained the shafts, let them dry, and then turned them over to Leah. She did her magic with paint, markers, and imagination and then I sealed them with several coats of polyurethane. In the home stretch now, I glued the nocks on and then fletched the shafts. Lastly, I glued on the points. All that's left to do now is see how they shoot out of my new longbow. The average arrow weight is 732.9 grains with 190 grain Meatheads and field points. I like a heavy arrow!

Go Team Haverstick!

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.
