If you want fancy, don't look here.....Arrow Build Along (Update PG6)

Great post, I have only made a couple of sets, this helped me out a bunch. Thanks!

Great job you should have them move this to the How To section for others to use.Thanks for doing it.

nice. thanks for sharing

[straitera]

Excellent! Much thanks.

Nice stuff. It was amazing the difference in flight a 1/2 inch will make.

Looked very good in the second video (hard to tell in a hand-held).  I like that little cut-off saw.  I use an X-Acto razor saw in a little miter box.

Thanks everyone! As soon as the rest of the materials come in from 3R's, I'll finish up.

Tim, as soon as everyone's had a chance to look it over, I will have the Mods move to the "How To" section.

Charlie, I tried to get the best shot I could but, the arrow really was flying pretty good at that point. I shot it out of two bows with the same specs and you couldn't tell the difference.

Like Spanky said, we'll know once I get the BH's on them.

Bud B, I will weigh the shafts again upon completion of the arrows and post results. Do you want the total with or with out the tips on?

Magnus, I thought about another coat on the lighter ones to bring them a little closer to the others but, I was still in the 10gr range so, I opted not to. I turned the heat up in my shop room and put a little blower fan I have to help speed up drying time. First time I tried that and it worked pretty good.

Just trying to get an idea of how much it changes the weight. Eg. 1/2" length of Surewood equates to X weight average type of thing.

I like the post of going down 1/4" at a time.

And the second vid shot looked better. It would be nice to see a vid from over your shoulder or from just beside you to see the flight path.

I got out my bigger tripod and this was what I got. Not the greatest camera person in the world so don't get critical on me. This is just to show how the arrow flies. I shot low on purpose as the center of my target is getting real thin and I keep shooting through it and into the plywood.

Good shootin' and good flight!!

fancy Don't make you shoot better

[Rooselk]

Glad they tuned up for you! Sure is nice working with such great shafts as Surewoods. Can't ask for anything better--straight shafts that fly perfect!

[Stumpkiller]

Flight looks good.      

Now we gotta get you cresting them with permanent markers.
