Hi All,
Compound archer here.
I have a 58" one-piece traditional recurve (off the shelf) that I want to shoot for pleasure.
Part of the plan involves making some wooden arrows (I don't really care about scores, it's more for light relief and 2D/3D playtime).
I know there are various guides to building wooden arrows online, but I'm struggling to get my head around them all and they often offer conflicting advice.
I know when I tried to help someone make wooden arrows before we got into all sorts of trouble with tapered/parallel/screw points, varnished/waxed/untreated shafts, spine selection etc.
Therefore I'm after recommendations and explanations from experts on here to get me started.
As I say, I'm, not after competitive grade wooden arrows (yet...), but I'd like to spend the time making the properly and at least have a degree of accuracy.
Thanks in advance!
