Thank you for this great in depth series. If in your next episodes you might explain the fletching it would be very interesting if you could explain the whole confusion of left wing / right wing especially in the context with left or right helical orientation on the arrow and the connection of single bevel broadheads. In theory it sounds simple but the moment you try to picture all of that it becomes confusing. Thanks in advance and looking forward to new episodes!
Many wood arrow fletchers will tell you that if there is any runout in the shaft, you want the "points" of the grain on top of the shaft pointing away from you in the event a shaft breaks, it should flex upward, away from your hand and arm.
Great video, thank you for covering Arrow making. Could you cover arrow riff and the grain orientation? There seems to be a lot of confusion about this. I find a conflict if the spine on one side is correct but the grain orientation forces me to place the nock a certain way "grain perpendicular" to the riser.
I have been looking forward to this series of videos and l haven't been disappointed up to now . At present l don't own a bow ( due to being made redundant 🤷♂️ ) l have put that on hold. So in the meantime l will watch and learn in England to join or shoot at a club you have to pass a beginners course it teaches you the very basics,then you can join a club and get insurance ( this is required by most clubs) . At first l really liked the look of the compound and recurve metal riser bows being a engineer l loved the engineering behind them that was until l seen and shoot a traditional bow with wood arrows, man l was hooked saving hard for my first bow now but mortgage comes first 😳. Fantastic video a great learning tool for us newbies , thank you for sharing 👍👍👍

phiphi06 thank for the comment. I’ll add that to the list. There will be an episode dedicated entirely to fletching options.
Addictive Archery thank you! Looking forward to that!
Keeping notes is a great idea
How do I know which side to put the knock and the points?
On a good quality shaft, it does not matter. I always try to put the straightest grain on the point side.

Cody Greenwood sure thing I’ll cover that when I go over gluing on the nocks.
