Evening all,
in a couple of days I shall start attempting to make some arrows for my lovely new 48# longbow, so apologies in advance to anyone in the Northamptonshire area that hears any sudden prolonged bursts of robust Anglo-Saxon.
I have all the bits and pieces ready and waiting thanks to the longbowshop.
11/32 spruce shafts 40/45# spine (pine was out of stock sadly)
80 grain brass screw on bullet points as ill be starting with indoor target shooting
3" shield Black hen fletches and white cock fletch
black plastic nocks
and hopefully if I manage to do it right, homemade waterslide decals for naming and numbering purposes.
As today I've been released back into the wild after knee surgery it gives me plenty of time to not royally bugger things up.
updates and pics will be forthcoming as and when.
Matt
