My first dozen wood arrows, first time I’ve tapered or fletched anything.
-23/64, 75-80 spine POC bare shafts
-True North light walnut stain
-3Rivers Gasket Lacquer with an Eco Dipper
-5” shield cut feathers with Bohning tape and Duco Cement
-Bohning Classic 11/32 nocks
-190 grain point
Bow is a 1974 Herter’s Perfection Itasca with a #65 pull at 28”. I shoot my 50 and 55 lb recurves more accurately, but I really want my first archery deer with this bow. I’ll just have to keep shots to 15 yards.
Turned out looking nice, they fly great. 630-650 grains all done. I’m interested how well the fletching tape holds. I’ve got some Grizzly and Cutthroat 190’s I’ll mount on some for this season.
I got some Tamarak 75-80 spine bare shafts that are 620-630 grains that I’m going to make next. Those are going to be absurdly heavy though.
