Hey b44mag! You get the arrows for your longbow yet? Are you shootin? scout4<><

[b44mag]

no scout i did not get any for it yet been messing with the 35# and bearcat i got arrows for the 35#bow maybe 
went to shop yesterday shot the screen room with the bearcat at 20 yards. i shot a 40 this time last i time shot a 25 so im getting better. it was fun   my no gloves are not in yet got 2 sets on the way for the longbow and the 35# fiberglass semirecurve. i might get a set for the bearcat have to see if i like them
tried shooting from 10 yards to see how the gold tips fly from the bearcat. they fly good sticking out of the hay straight. at 10 yards im getting a good pie plate group with 1 or 2 out of 6 about 6 or so inches out of group but still there. when the weather breaks ill get to shooting more.   
i had some 400 carbons 3 inch feather fletched and the 2117 cut to 32 . from what the easton chart says 125 tip 34 to 38# 150 tip 26 to 30# going to be nice on sunday going to see how they fly.
made my first flu flu arrows today from some old turkey feathers today. split the feathers used a emery board to smooth and thin out the i guess quill. . i was watching vids on youtube and thought y not give it a try they came out pretty good for hand fletching by eye. gave the short one to my buddy. told him shoot at your own risk told him to try from half draw first. but i think they will fly ok .

Hey b44mag!! Nice job on them flu flu arrows! For the first ones, Lookin good Man!! I like to know how they shoot from the old longbow? Thanks! scout4<><

[b44mag]

have not tried them from the longbow but they shot fine from the fiberglass in the basement dumb idea
i put up a old blanket thinking it would stop the arrows nope went right through into the concreet wall one arrow down might be able to have 3/4 of a inch cut and save it was funny for sure
i got to thinking bad idea also me thinking but anyway
i put a old blanket up about 2 feet from wall put my target up on a milk crate went back 10 feet shot a few at half draw just to see and it worked out pretty good so i went back to 20 feet sat on my fishing bucket pulled full draw let them fly was doing good hit the target every time did that about 3 times with a dozen mix match arrows
then i guess i got sloppy cause i missed the target with a 400 carbon first broke arrow then i got the flu flus out and 3 with rubber tips fine just into the blankey at 20 feet then the 357 case flu flu pulled back and straight through the blanket concreet all the way cracked the arrow about 1/4 inch past the empty case tip cut it off and re installed a new 357 case no more shooting inside but untill i got sloppy i was doing good from 20 feet i know its not that far but it was fun till i broke 2 arrows hell it was fun anyway i can still use both broke arrows so no big deal the weather is wet n cold here and the bow shop is 30 mile trip so as soon as it dries up ill get out side to shoot .
