Making an Arrow
Hi guys
I'm having a bash at making an arrow for a survival bow and wonder if any of you could help with some advice?
I have all the stuff I need it is mainly putting the flights on where I get a bit stuck they always look a mess so if anyone can say of any good ways to secure them on there or the best length and stuff that would be great :D
I will put some pics on later at my attempt :)
Cheers Ben

So you are saying it looks like a flu-flu?

Keep us posted in this one please mate.
I tried doing the Ray Mears arrow with bluebell bulbs and goose feathers a few years back with zero success.
To be honest it looked like something that my little girl could have knocked up when she was at nursery 7 years ago!!
Good luck and let's have some pics.

Hi Mike a flu-flu :confused: Help LOL
-
put it on by tacking with pine pitch then wrap between the filaments with thread,or sinew if you want to be traditional.

Cheers mate I have used a bit of inner from Paracord at the min just to see the sort of layout or a way to get round it :)

I did make some a while ago, and encountered the same problem. I decided to make 2x flights set at 180 degrees using thin plastic (taken from a milk bottle). They flew nice and straight, however they took a slice out of my left hand every time I released. Ahhh...so that's why they use soft feathers....DOH!!
