Making an Arrow

[Ben Casey]

Cheers guys I was worried it would snap but I had covered it in beeswax for ages now and it seems very flexible I was so chuffed when it worked I forgot to get some pictures but on my next outing I will

Hi Ben
your bow certainly impressed me and as you say they covered a fair distance, some had gone that far they were difficult to keep in sight and find. You made a damn good job of making that bow and arrrows Ben, not a bad shot with it either, we both managed to aim for and hit a half acre of grass with it, I think a bit of practice will help with that though LOL. So fella's I can say Bens workmanship is pretty damn good, I only wished he was as accurate with a kettle while pouring boiling water (ouch) . Oh and Ben I am down to Three litres of tea a day now.

Hi Mate
will look forward to that Oh and if you manage to see a target, buy the large 15ft diameter one, cos the bullseye is a foot lager on that one

put it on by tacking with pine pitch then wrap between the filaments with thread,
or sinew if you want to be traditional.

[Ben Casey]

I have ordered some targets this morning mate I ordered four big ones so we can put them all next to each other then there is more chance of hitting at least one
