Finished my arrows for the 2022 season
Darren Haverstick:
Woohoo! I finished my arrows for the season! These are a labor of love I do every year with some special help from my teammate and wife, Leah. This year the shafts are Douglas Fir from Surewood Shafts. I cut them to length, put on the point and nock tapers, and then burned patterns onto them using a butane torch. After the burning, I stained them and then turned them over to Leah so she could bling them out with paint and markers. I sealed the shafts with several coats of polyurethane and then fletched them and glued the points on. All that is left to do is to start shooting them! Arrow specs: The shafts spined 60-65 pounds and the arrows are 28.5" long from nock valley to back of point. They weigh approximately 680 grains. Six have 190 field points and the other half dozen have 190 grain Meathead broadheads.

Winter Hawk:
Very pretty! I like! :hairy
My arrows are more utilitarian than those, but I do like the Surewood shafts. Mine have selfnocks, no cresting, just a couple of coats of boiled linseed oil wiped on. 4" fletching with a green cock feather and the other two yellow. Half dozen with Chubby Bunny field points and another half dozen with Zwickey Eskimo 2 blade broadheads. I enjoy the time making them, even if they are pretty basic!

Nessmuk:
Darren, What happens to last year's arrows? Do they survive season? Do you sell them, gift them, hoard them, or display them on the wall?
Curiosity compels me to ask.
