Lukas RotermundProgress! My carbon arrows are finished, too. I'm curious to see how my compound bow copes with them. It's my first attempt; so far, I've only made wooden arrows.
@hedders Bohning Frontier fletching jig? very happy with mine #archery #fletching #FletchingJig https://www.bohning.com/portfolio-item/fletching-1-vane/
Arrow-making progress: a dozen finished wooden arrows, already given their first coat of linseed oil. After 24 hours they’ll get another coat and then they’re good to go!
Next week I’ll move on to the carbon arrows – those are much easier to put together.
The rest has finally arrived, so the plan for the weekend is set: building arrows and documenting the process for an article, from splining to gluing.
The first of two deliveries has just arrived, including a fletching jig, fletching tape, carbon shaft vanes (feathers), and a digital grain scale. The wooden shaft feathers, shafts, points, nocks, and taper tool are still missing.
I'm a bit disappointed that the announced helical setting isn't included in the fletching jig. The first arrows will probably have straight feathers. You have to work with what you have.
I have just finished preparing for the arrow-building process, i.e. deciding which tools are necessary for making wooden and carbon arrows, and which steps are involved. This is only the first step: preparation. I will start building once I have received all the materials.

I would like to start making arrows for my 40# Falco Triumph flat-arm longbow and my ~50# Hoyt Ignite 2015 compound bow. I already have a good fletching jig. Do you have any good experience with determining the right spine values for arrows? Are there manufacturer specifications and/or essential tools? Answers in German or English are welcome 🙂
The longbow works well with wooden arrows, but the Hoyt requires carbon arrows. I don't know if this is important.
Peter BuiDuring winter break, I played #leagues in #osrs and had a blast. Upon returning to the normal Old School game, however, I quickly got frustrated with the low XP rates and the overall grindiness.
Since I read that #runescape (ie. rs3) had better XP rates, I decided to give it a shot, even though everyone on the Internet seemed to hate it.
Turns out, I really enjoyed #runescape and I switched over to that game as a #GIM. Last night, I achieved my first 99 (ie. max) in #fletching!
robcorneliusI spent an very enjoyable evening teaching people how to make #wooden #arrows. Basically fitting piles and nocks and #fletching shafts. I even had handouts and everything.
It was really good to pass on the result of my trial and error and Youtube learning. I think everyone liked it.
Spent the afternoon in my #shed on my #allotment. I was #fletching some new #arrows for my #longbow. I even managed to do spliced fletchings, which look really smart and dandy.
