    My third try and making primitive arrows. I have no long arrows to shoot my bows so decided to make these. I used hazel wood shoots dryed for a few days. The weight of these is around 450 grain so they are perfect for my needs. So far I'm happy with them!
    ❗❗❗Working on bows always remember about the proper use of tools and your safety - wear precautions like googles and gloves❗❗❗
    All the best guys, thank you for watching!

    I've been making natural shoot arrow shafts since the early 1950's and (naturally) your process is very similar to the one I've evolved. But I think I have a better straightening process involving rolling a softened shaft over a curved surface which can yield much better results with minimal work. Keep going...

    Perfectly good example for a five minute video. Your draw length was seemingly not near a full draw of a 28 inch draw length bow, but making those arrows was suprisingly simple and easy, and if only all the saplings could have been used to be arrows, that would be much faster work for bulk-crafted- arrows.

    Good job. Try to make arrows from a wild rose, if this plant is in your area. This is the best primitive arrow material available in my region.

      I've just dried them. Due to low thickness it doesn't take much

    Beautiful arrows. I am curious why you don't straighten them before tapering the thickness and sanding them. I would think they would allow you to straighten them even more during the tapering and sanding.

    Great job, the arrows look great. And wow, that fletching jig got me by surprise 😆, really creative. Do you think I can use that clip to put 4inch feathers on carbon arrows? So I can save money on fletching jig lol.
